PREFACE  TO  THE  HYMNAL. 


The  General  Conference  of  the  Meth- 
odist Episcopal  Church,  on  the  thirti- 
eth ddy  of  May,  1876,  adopted  the  fol- 
lowing report: — 

The  Committee  on  the  Revision  of  the  Hymn 
Book  have  carefully  considered  the  various  pa- 
pers referred  to  them,  and  respectfully  report  to 
the  General  Conference  that  they  are  unanimously 
of  the  opinion  that  a  thorough  revision  of  the 
H3rmn  Book  now  in  use  is  imperatively  demanded. 
We  therefore  recommend — 

1.  That  the  Board  of  Bishops  be  requested  to 
appoint,  as  soon  as  practicable,  a  Committee  of 
fifteen,  to  v.hom  shall  be  committed  the  work  of 
revision. 

2.  That  this  Committee  be  selected  with  refer- 
ence to  convenience  of  location  for  division  into 
three  sections  for  working  purposes. 

3.  That  when  the  work  of  preparatory  revis- 
ion shall  bo  completed  by  the  several  sections, 
the  whole  Committee  :  !;all  be  duly  notified,  and 
the  work  of  each  section  shall  be  revised ;  and 
that  no  hymn  now  in  use  shall  be  excluded  with- 
out a  vote  of  two  thirds  of  the  Committee  for  its 
rejection,  and  that  no  hjinn  not  now  in  the  collec- 
tion shall  be  admitted  without  a  vote  of  two- 
thirds  of  the  Comrtiittcc  in  its  favor. 

4.  That  when  the  Committee  have  completed 
their  work,  they  shall  submit  their  report  to  the 
Bishops  for  their  approval,  and  the  Bishops  ap- 
proving, they  arc  authorized  to  commend  it  to  the 
Church. 

5.  That  after  the  Committee  aforesaid  shall 
have  completed  their  revision  of  the  Hymn  Book, 
andJhcir  work  has  been  approved  by  the  Bishops 
as  provided  for  in  item  4,  they  shall  have  power 


to  prepare  a  suitable  Hymn  and  Tune  Book  for 
the  use  of  the  Church. 

6.  So  compensation  shall  be  paid  to  the  Com- 
mittee employed  in  the  revisal,  except  for  actual 
exf)enses  incurred. 

In  accordance  with  the  foregoing  res- 
olution, the  Bishops  appointed  the  fol- 
lowing persons  as 

TuE  Committee  of  Revision.

To  the  Committee  appointed  to  revise  the  JJi/mn 

Book: 

Dear  Brethren — The  Bishops,  at  their  late 
meeting  in  Cleveland,  Ohio,  very  thoroughly  ex- 
amined the  result  of  the  labors  of  the  Committee 
appointed  under  authority  of  the  last  General  Con- 
ference, to  revise  the  Hymn  Book  of  the  Method- 
ist Episcopal  Church. 

1.  They  went  through  the  entire  list  of  the 
hymns  in  the  book  now  in  use  which  the  Com- 
mittee has  excluded. 


PREFACE    TO    THE    HYMNAL. 


2.  They  thoughtfully  considered  every  revision 
made  in  the  text  of  the  hymns  which  the  Com- 
mittee has  retained. 

8.  They  read  through  carefully,  and  in  many 
cases  repeatedly,  every  new  hymn  which  the 
Committee  has  introduced  into  the  Revised  Hymn 
Book. 

After  the  Committee  had  made  a  few  changes 
which  the  Bishops  suggested,  the  following  reso- 
lution was  unanimously  adopted,  namely : — 

Besolved,  That  we  have  thoroughly  examined, 
with  great  satisfaction,  the  work  of  the  Commit- 


tee appointed  to  revise  the  Hymn  Book.  We 
tender  to  the  members  of  that  Committee  our 
thanks ;  and  believe  the  gratitude  of  the  Church 
is  due  these  brethren  for  the  labor  they  have  ex- 
pended, and  the  wisdom,  taste,  and  good  judg- 
ment  they  have  shown  in  preparing  this  most 
excellent  book. 

By  order,   and   on  behalf,  of  the   Board  of 
Bishops^

ADDRESS 

TO   THE 

MEMBERS  AND  FRIENDS  OF  THE  METHODIST  EPISCOPAL  CHURCH. 


Under  the  direction  of  the  General  Conference  of  1876  this  revised  edition  of 
our  excellent  Hymn  Book  has  been  prepared.  The  action  of  the  General 
Conference,  the  names  of  the  Committee  selected  by  the  Bishops,  and  the 
judgment  of  the  Bishops  as  expressed  to  the  Committee,  are  herewith  pre- 
sented. You  will  note  the  great  care  which  has  marked  every  part  of  the 
work,  whether  in  rejecting  any  of  the  hymns  formerly  used,  or  in  changing 
their  phraseology,  or  in  the  selection  of  those  which  are  new.  Though  perfec- 
tion is  not  claimed,  yet  we  believe  the  present  Hymn  Book  will  be  considered 
a  great  improvement  on  the  preceding  one. 

We  most  cordially  commend  it  to  you  as  one  of  the  choicest  selections  of 
evangelical  hymns  ever  published ;  and  we  trust  that  it  will  increase  the  interest 
of  public  worship,  give  a  higher  inspiration  to  social  and  family  services,  and 
aid  in  private  meditation  and  devotion.  As  it  is  published  by  the  authority  of 
the  Church,  and  to  meet  the  wants  of  the  Church,  and  as  thfe  profits  will  be 
devoted  to  religious  purposes,  we  do  the  more  earnestly  commend  it  to  your 
liberal  patronage. 

We  exhort  you,  dear  brethren,  to  "sing  with  the  spirit"  and  "with  the 
understanding  also,"  "  making  melody  in  your  heart  to  the  Lord." 

Your  affectionate  j^astors  in  Christ,

PREFACE 


TO  THE 


HYMNAL  WITH  TUNES. 


The  Committee  appointed  by  order  of  the  last  General  Conference  to 
revise  the  Hymn  Book,  was  also  empowered  "  to  prepare  a  suitable  Hymn 
and  Tune  Book  for  the  use  of  the  Church;"  and  this  book  is  presented 
as  the  result  of  its  labor.  The  accepted  doctrine  of  the  Church  is,  that 
"  every  person  in  the  congregation  ought  to  sing,  not  one  in  ten  only." 
To  aid  in  securing  such  a  consummation  has  been  the  prime  purpose 
in  the  mind  of  the  Committee.  It  has  also  been  a  special  aim  to  prepare 
a  book  which  would  so  commend  itself  to  the  whole  Church  as  to  secure 
uniformity  of  use  in  all  our  congregations,  thus  becoming  a  strong  addi- 
tional bond  of  union  as  well  as  a  powerful  stimulus  in  worship.  Such  a 
book  is  quite  as  much  needed  as  a  book  of  hymns  alone. 

This  book  has  a  superiority  over  our  previous  works  of  this  kind  in  its 
exact  agreement  with  the  Hymnal  in  the  order  and  consecutive  number- 
ing of  the  hymns.  The  preservation  of  this  identity  has  greatly  increased 
the  difficulty  of  adapting  all  the  hymns  to  suitable  tunes.  To  accomplish 
this  properly,  without  unduly  increasing  the  size  and  expense  of  the  book, 
was  not  an  easy  problem ;  yet  it  is  believed  that  very  few  hymns  will  be 
found  without  their  appropriate  tunes  on  their  own  or  on  opposite  pages. 
In  the  few  instances  where  this  has  not  been  practicable,  a  familiar  tune 
is  suggested,  with  its  page,  at  the  head  of  the  hymn. 

The  tunes  have  been  taken  from  the  best  sources  of  our  own  and  other 
countries.  They  have  been  selected  from  a  great  multitude,  and  from  a 
great  variety  of  authors,  and  almost  wholly  with  a  view  to  their  availa- 
bility for  congregational  use.  They  are  not  mere  scientific  harmonies, 
but  harmonized  melodies.  Most  of  them  have  been  tested  by  long  usage 
and  have  become  indispensable  for  popular  use.  Those  that  are  rela- 
tively new  will  prove,  it  is  believed,  as  acceptable  and  popular  as  the 
old.  The  variety  is  very  broad,  and  yet  the  music  is  mainly  of  a  solid, 
enduring  kind.     Wherever  pages  that  face  each  other  contain  hymns  of 


PREFACE  TO  THE   HYMNAL  WITH   TUNES. 

the  same  meter  it  has  been  the  aim  to  adapt  them  to  one  old  tune  and 
one  less  familiar.  The  number  of  tunes  for  particular  meters  will  be 
found  very  large,  and  their  character  especially  excellent  Of  the  few 
lighter  tunes  in  the  book,  it  is  sufficient  to  say  that  they  are  married  to 
their  hymns  and  cannot  well  be  divorced.  The  dozen  or  more  of  old  and 
fugue  tunes  that  follow  the  doxologies  will  be  a  gratification  to  many  who 
still  enjoy  the  ancient  melodies.  The  chants,  though  not  numerous,  are 
those  very  generally  used  by  the  universal  Church  ;  and  it  is  hoped  that 
they  may  become  more  popular  and  useful  among  us. 

The  Committee  has  been  assisted  in  the  preparation  of  this  book  by 
Dr.  Eben  Tourj^e,  of  Boston,  and  Mr.  Joseph  P.  Holbrook,  of  New  York, 
as  special  musical  editors.  These  names  are  a  sufficient  guaranty  that 
the  musical  department  of  the  work  has  been  done  in  the  best  possible 
manner. 

We  offer  a  few  suggestions  for  congregational  singing : — 

Let  all  provide  themselves  with  books.  Every  singer  should  have  a 
book  to  himself. 

Let  all  sing;  generally  the  melody  of  the  tune. 

The  minister  must  take  and  express  deep  and  constant  interest  in 
congregational  singing ;  otherwise  it  will  be  a  failure. 

The  chorister  must  do  the  same. 

There  should  be  a  choir  or  a  precentor,  and  an  organ,  if  possible,  to 
lead  the  people.  The  best  arrangement  is  to  have  the  choir  and  organ 
in  front  of  the  congregation. 

Frequent  gatherings  of  the  congregation  in  praise-meetings,  and  for 
instruction  and  practice  in  learning  new  tunes,  are  very  desirable.  For 
the  sake  of  variety  and  freshness,  the  pastor  and  chorister  should  make 
persistent  efforts  to  encourage  the  congregation  to  learn  new  tunes.  The 
book  should  be  the  standard  book  of  the  Sunday-school,  and  should  be 
constantly  used  in  the  social  meeting  as  well  as  in  the  congregation. 

In  the  hope  that  the  work  may  stimulate  all  the  people  to  s;ng  in  all 
the  services  of  the  sanctuary,  and  may  contribute  somewhat  to  the  spirit- 
uality of  divine  worship  through  the  power  of  sacred  song  upon  the  heart, 
it  is  respectfully  submitted  to  the  kindly  judgment  of  the  Church.

1  O  FOR  a  thousand  tongues,  to  sing 
My  great  Redeemer's  praise  ; 

The  glories  of  my  God  and  King, 
The  triumphs  of  his  grace  ! 

2  My  gracious  Master  and  my  God, 
Assist  me  to  proclaim. 

To  spread  through  all  the  earth  abroad, 
The  honors  of  thy  name. 

8  Jesus !  the  name  that  charms  our  fears, 
That  bids  our  sorrows  cease  ; 

'Tis  music  in  the  sinner's  ears, 
'Tis  life,  and  health,  and  peace. 

4  He  breaks  the  power  of  canceled  sin. 
He  sets  the  prisoner  free ; 

His  blood  can  make  the  foulest  clean ; 
His  blood  availed  for  me.

The  mournful,  broken  hearts  rejoice  ; 
The  humble  poor  believe. 


6  Hear  him,  ye  deaf;  his  praise,  ye  dumb. 
Your  loosened  tongues  employ; 

Ye  blind,  behold  your  Saviour  come  ; 
And  leap,  ye  lame,  for  jov.

1  Come,  let  us  join  our  cheerful  songs 
With  angels  round  the  throne  ; 

Ten  thousand  thousand  are  their  tongues. 
But  all  their  joys  are  one. 

2  "  Worthy  the  Lamb  that  died,"  they  cry, 
"  To  be  exalted  thus  !" 

"  Worthy  the  Lamb  I"  our  hearts  reply, 
"  For  he  was  slain  for  us." 

3  Jesus  is  worthy  to  receive 
Honor  and  power  divine  ; 

And  blessings  more  than  we  can  give, 
Be,  Lord,  forever  thine. 

4  The  whole  creation  join  in  one. 
To  bless  the  sacred  name 

Of  him  that  sits  upon  the  throne. 
And  to  adore  the  Lamb.

2  Come,  thou  incarnate  Word, 
Gird  on  thy  mighty  sword, 

Our  prayer  attend  ; 
Come,  and  thy  people  bless.

2  Thy  name  salvation  is, 
Which  here  we  come  to  prove  ; 

Thy  name  is  life,  and  health,  and  peace. 
And  everlasting  love.

Or  selfishness  we  meet ; 

From  nature's  paths  wc  turn  aside. 
And  worldly  thoughts  forget.

Which  thou  hast  freely  given  ; 

We  meet  on  earth  for  thy  dear  sake, 
That  we  may  meet  in  heaven. 

5  Present  we  know  thou  art, 
But  O  thyself  reveal  ! 

Now,  Lord,  let  every  bounding  heart 
The  mighty  comfort  feel. 

6  O  may  thy  quickening  voice 
The  death  of  sin  remove  ; 

And  bid  our  inmost  souls  rejoice, 
In  hope  of  perfect  love.

J- A    Invitation  to  worship. — Psalm  100. 

1  All  people  that  on  earth  do  dwell, 
Sing  to  the  Lord  with  cheerful  voice  : 

Him  serve  with  fear,  his  praise  forth  tell. 
Come  ye  before  him,  and  rejoice. 

2  The  Lord,  ye  know,  is  God  indeed. 
Without  our  aid  he  did  us  make ; 

We  are  his  flock,  he  doth  us  feed. 
And  for  his  sheep  he  doth  us  take. 

3  O  enter  then  his  gates  with  praise. 
Approach  with  joy  his  courts  unto  : 

Praise,  laud,  and  bless  his  name  always. 
For  it  is  seemly  so  to  do. 

4  For  why  ?  the  Lord  our  God  is  good. 
His  mercy  is  forever  sure  ; 

His  truth  at  all  times  firmly  stood, 
And  shall  from  age  to  age  endure. 

William  Ketba. 


0  General  invitation  to  praise  God. 

1  From  all  that  dwell  below  the  skies. 
Let  the  Creator's  praise  arise  ; 

Let  the  Redeemer's  name  be  sung. 
Through  every  land,  by  every  tongue. 

2  Eternal  are  thy  mercies.  Lord  ; 
Eternal  truth  attends  thy  word  : 

Thy  praise  shall  sound  from  shore  to  shore. 
Till  suns  shall  rise  and  set  no  more. 

3  Your  lofty  themes,  ye  mortals,  bring  ; 
In  songs  of  praise  divinely  sing ; 

The  great  salvation  loud  proclaim. 
And  shout  for  joy  the  Saviour's  name. 

4  In  every  land  begin  the  song  ; 
To  every  land  the  strains  belong : 
In  cheerful  sounds  all  voices  raise. 
And  fill  the  world  with  loudest  praise. 

Isaac  Watts. 

y  Jieverential  adoration. 

1  Before  Jehovah's  awful  throne, 
Ye  nations  bow  with  sacred  joy  ; 

Know  that  the  Lord  is  God  alone. 
He  can  create,  and  he  destroy. 

2  His  sovereign  power,  without  our  aid. 
Made  us  of  clay,  and  formed  us  men  ; 

And  when  like  wandering  sheep  we  strayed. 
He  brought  us  to  his  fold  again. 

3  We  '11  crowd  thy  gates  with  thankful  songs, 
High  as  the  heavens  our  voices  raise  ; 

And  earth,  with  her  ten  thousand  tongues. 
Shall  fill  thy  courts  with  sounding  praise. 

4  Wide  as  the  world  is  thy  command  ; 
Vast  as  eternity  thy  love  ; 

Firm  as  a  rock  thy  truth  shall  stand, 
When  rolling  years  shall  cease  to  move.

1  Now  may  He  who  from  the  dead 
Brought  the  Shepherd  of  the  sheep, 

Jesus  Christ,  our  King  and  Head, 
All  our  souls  in  safety  keep. 

2  May  he  teach  us  to  fulfill 
What  is  pleasing  in  his  sight ; 

Make  us  perfect  in  his  will. 

And  preserve  us  day  and  night. 

3  To  that  great  Redeemer's  praise, 
Who  the  covenant  sealed  with  blood. 

Let  our  hearts  and  voices  raise 
Loud  thanksgivings  to  our  God.

Learning  here,  by  faith  and  love, 
Songs  of  praise  to  sing  above.

To  eternity  endure.

Plucked  from  the  destroyer's  hand.

Him  let  all  the  people  praise,

In  his  courts  on  holy  days.

Praise  him  from  the  depths  beneath ;

2  Earth  to  heaven,  and  heaven  to  earth, 
Tell  his  wonders,  sing  his  worth ; 

Age  to  age,  and  shore  to  shore, 
Praise  him,  praise  him,  evermore ! 

3  Praise  the  Lord,  his  mercies  trace; 
Praise  his  providence  and  grace ; 

All  that  he  for  man  hath  done. 
All  he  sends  us  through  his  Son.

Our  common  Saviour  praise  : 

To  him  with  joyful  voices  give 
The  glory  of  his  grace. 

2  He  nowf  stands  knocking  at  the  door 
Of  every  sinner's  heart  : 

The  worst  need  keep  him  out  no  more, 
Nor  force  him  to  depart. 

3  Through  grace  we  hearken  to  thy  voice, 
Yield  to  be  saved  from  sin ; 

In  sure  and  certain  hope  rejoice, 
That  thou  wilt  enter  in. 

4  Come  quickly  in,  thou  heavenly  Guest, 
Nor  ever  hence  remove  ; 

But  sup  with  us,  and  let  the  feast 
Be  everlasting  love.

Once  more  his  blessing  ask  : 

O  may  not  duty  seem  a  load. 
Nor  worship  prove  a  task. 

2  Father,  thy  quickening  Spirit  send 
From  heaven,  in  Jesus'  name, 

And  bid  our  waiting  minds  attend. 
And  put  our  souls  in  frame. 

3  May  we  receive  the  word  we  hear. 
Each  in  an  honest  heart ; 

And  keep  the  precious  treasure  there. 
And  never  with  it  part. 

4  To  seek  thee,  all  our  hearts  dispose ; 
To  each  thy  blessings  suit ; 

And  let  the  seed  thy  servant  sows. 
Produce  abundant  fruit.

Who  in  thy  name  are  joined  ; 

We  wait,  according  to  thy  word, 
Thee  in  the  midst  to  find. 

3  With  us  thou  art  assembled  here. 
But  O  thyself  reveal ; 

Son  of  the  living  God,  appear  ! 
Let  us  thy  presence  feel. 

4  Breathe  on  us.  Lord,  in  this  our  day. 
And  these  dry  bones  shall  live  ; 

Speak  peace  into  our  hearts,  and  say, 
"The  Holy  Ghost  receive."

Come  bending  at  thy  feet  ; 

To  thee  their  prayers  and  songs  ascend. 
In  thee  their  wishes  meet. 

3  Millions  of  happy  spirits  live 
On  thy  exhaustless  store  ; 

From  thee  they  all  their  bliss  receive. 
And  still  thou  givest  more.

They  find  their  all  in  thee  ; 

Thy  glories  will  their  tongues  employ 

Through  all  eternity.

1  Jesus,  where'er  thy  people  meet,  ' 
There  they  behold  thy  mercy-seat ; 
Where'er  they  seek  thee,  thou  art  found, 
And  every  place  is  hallowed  ground. 

2  For  thou,  within  no  walls  confined, 
Dost  dwell  with  those  of  humble  mind  ; 
Such  ever  bring  thee  where  they  come. 
And,  going,  take  thee  to  their  home. 

3  Great  Shepherd  of  thy  chosen  few. 
Thy  former  mercies  here  renew ; 
Here,  to  our  waiting  hearts,  proclaim 
'i'he  sweetness  of  thy  saving  name. 

4  Here  may  we  prove  the  power  of  prayer 
To  strengthen  faith  and  sweeten  care; 
To  teach  our  faint  desires  to  rise. 

And  bring  all  heaven  before  our  eyes. 

William  Cowper. 

4i>  Blest  hour  of  prayer. 

1  Bl.F.ST  hour,  when  mortal  man  retires 
To  hold  communion  with  his  God  ; 

To  send  to  Heaven  his  warm  desires, 
And  listen  to  the  sacred  word. 

2  Blest  hour,  when  God  himself  draws  nigh, 
Well  ])leased  his  people's  voice  to  hear  ; 

To  hush  the  penitential  sigh. 

And  W'ipe  away  the  mourner's  tear. 

8  Blest  hour,  for,  where  the  Lord  resorts, 
Foretastes  of  future  bliss  are  given  ; 

And  mortals  find  his  earthly  courts 
The  house  of  God,  the  gate  of  heaven. 


4  Hail,  peaceful  hour !  supremely  blest 
Amid  the  hours  of  worldly  care ; 

The  hour  that  yields  the  spirit  rest. 
That  sacred  hour,  the  hour  of  prayer, 

5  And  when  my  hours  of  prayer  are  past. 
And  this  frail  tenement  decays. 

Then  may  I  spend  in  heaven  at  last 
A  never-ending  hour  of  praise. 

Thomas  Baffles. 

40  For  ZiorCs  peace. 

1  O  THOU,  our  Saviour,  Brother,  Friend, 
Behold  a  cloud  of  incense  rise  ; 

The  prayers  of  saints  to  heaven  ascend. 
Grateful,  accepted  sacrifice. 

2  Regard  our  prayers  for  Zion's  peace; 
Shed  in  our  hearts  thy  love  abroad  ; 

Thy  gifts  abundantly  increase  ; 
Enlarge,  and  fill  us  all  with  God. 

3  Before  thy  sheep,  great  Shepherd,  go. 
And  guide  into  thy  perfect  will  ; 

Cau.se  us  thy  hallowed  name  to  know; 
The  work  of  faith  in  us  fulfill. 

4  Help  us  to  make  our  calling  sure ; 
O  let  us  all  be  saints  indeed, 

And  pure,  as  thou  thyself  art  pure. 
Conformed  in  all  things  to  our  Head. 

5  Take  the  dear  purchase  of  thy  blood  : 
Thy  blood  shall  wash  us  white  as  snow: 

Present  us  sanctified  to  God, 

And  perfected  in  love  Ijelow.

A  heaven  on  earth  appear.

"  Come,  great  Redeemer,  come.

And  shed  thy  blessings  here.

Thy  Spirit,  Lord,  impart  ; 

And  let  thy  gospel's  joyful  sound. 
With  power  reach  every  heart.

Here  give  the  mourner  rest  ; 

Let  Jesus  here  triumphant  reign, 
Enthroned  in  every  breast.

And  fer\'ent  prayer  arise. 

Till  higher  strains  our  tongues  employ.

He  bows  himself  to  view  the  sky  ; 
And  yet,  with  condescending  grace. 
Looks  down  upon  the  human  race. 

4  He  hears  the  uncomplaining  moan 
Of  those  who  sit  and  weep  alone  ; 
He  lifts  the  mourner  from  the  dust ; 
In  him  the  poor  may  safely  trust. 

5  O  then,  aloud,  in  joyful  lays. 
Sing  to  the  Lord  Jehovah's  praise  ; 
His  saving  name  let  all  adore, 
From  age  to  age,  for  evermore.

On  this  thy  day,  in  this  thy  house; 
And  own,  as  grateful  sacrifice, 

The  songs  which  from  thy  ser\'ants  rise. 

2  Thine  earthly  Sabbaths,  Lord,  we  love ; 
But  there's  a  nobler  rest  above ; 

To  that  our  laboring  souls  aspire 
With  ardent  hope  and  strong  desire. 

3  No  more  fatigue,  no  more  distress. 
Nor  sin  nor  hell,  shall  reach  the  place  ; 
No  sighs  shall  mingle  with  the  songs. 
Which  warble  from  immortal  tongues. 

4  No  rude  alarms  of  raging  foes, 
No  cares  to  break  the  long  repose, 
No  midnight  shade,  no  clouded  sun; 
But  sacred,  high,  eternal  noon. 

5  O  long-expected  day,  begin  ! 
Dawn  on  these  realms  of  woe  and  sin: 
Fain  would  we  leave  this  weary  road. 
And  sleep  in  death,  to  rest  with  God.

Millions  this  day  before  thee  bowed ; 
Their  faces  Zionward  were  set. 

Vows  with  their  lips  to  thee  they  vowed. 

2  But  thou,  soul-searching  God  !  hast  known 
The  hearts  of  all  that  bent  the  knee  ; 

And  hast  accepted  those  alone. 
Who  in  the  spirit  worshiped  thee. 


3  People  of  many  a  tribe  and  tongue, 
Of  various  languages  and  lands, 

Have  heard  thy  truth,  thy  glory  sung, 
And  offered  prayer  with  holy  hands. 

4  And  not  a  prayer,  a  tear,  a  sigh. 
Hath  failed  this  day  some  suit  to  gain 

To  those  in  trouble  thou  wert  nigh  ; 
Not  one  hath  sought  thy  face  in  vain. 

0  Yet  one  prayer  more  ; — and  be  it  one. 
In  which  both  heaven  and  earth  accord;- 

Fulfill  thy  promise  to  thy  Son : 

Let  all  that  breathe  call  Jesus,  Lord  !

2  The  time  how  lovely  and  how  still ! 
Peace  shines  and  smiles  on  all  below ; 

The  plain,  the  stream,  the  wood,  the  hill. 
All  fair  with  evening's  setting  glow. 

3  Season  of  rest !  the  tranquil  soul 
Feels  the  sweet  calm,  and  melts  to  love ; 

And  while  these  sacred  moments  roll, 
Faith  sees  the  smiling  heaven  above. 

4  Nor  will  our  days  of  toil  be  long  ; 
Our  pilgrimage  will  soon  be  trod  ; 

And  we  shall  join  the  ceaseless  song.

Welcome  to  this  reviving  breast, 
And  these  rejoicing  eyes  ! 

2  The  King  himself  comes  near. 
And  feasts  his  saints  to-day ; 

Here  we  may  sit,  and  see  him  here. 
And  love,  and  praise,  and  pray. 

3  One  day  in  such  a  place. 
Where  thou,  my  God,  art  seen. 

Is  sweeter  than  ten  thousand  days 
Of  pleasurable  sin.

In  such  a  frame  as  this. 

And  sit  and  sing  herself  away 
To  everlasting  bliss.

And  chase  its  gloom  away. 

2  This  is  the  day  of  rest : 
Our  failing  strength  renew ; 

On  weary  brain  and  troubled  breast 
Shed  thou  thy  freshening  dew. 

3  This  is  the  day  of  peace  : 
Thy  peace  our  spirits  fill ; 

Bid  thou  the  blasts  of  discord  cease, 
The  waves  of  strife  be  still.

And  earth  draws  near  to  heaven. 

2  Lord,  in  this  sacred  hour, 
Within  thy  courts  we  bend. 

And  bless  thy  love,  and  own  thy  power. 
Our  Father  and  our  Friend. 

3  But  thou  art  not  alone 

In  courts  by  mortals  trod  ; 
Nor  only  is  the  day  thine  own 
When  man  draws  near  to  God : 

4  Thy  temple  is  the  arch 
Of  yon  immeasured  sky; 

Thy  Sabbath,  the  stupendous  march 
Of  vast  eternity. 

5  Lord,  may  that  holier  day 
Dawn  on  thy  servants'  sight; 

And  purer  worship  may  we  pay 
In  heaven's  unclouded  light.

At  thy  dawn  the  grave  gave  way 
To  the  power  of  Him  within. 
Who  had,  sinless,  bled  for  sin.

First,  for  man,  the  dismal  tomb. 
When  its  bars  their  weakness  owned. 
There  revealing  death  dethroned.

Rose,  a  darkened  world  to  bless, 
Bringing  up  from  mortal  night 
Immortality  and  light.

Did  the  world  from  darkness  bring. 

2  On  this  day  the  Eternal  Son 
Over  death  his  triumph  won  ; 
On  this  day  the  Spirit  came 
With  his  gifts  of  living  flame.

May  in  e\"ery  heart  have  sway.

Of  the  holy  Sabbath  day  ; 
Gently  as  life's  setting  sun. 
When  the  Christian's  course  is  run. 

2  Night  her  solemn  mantle  spreads 
O'er  the  earth  as  daylight  fades ; 
All  things  tell  of  calm  repose, 

At  the  holy  Sabbath's  close. 

3  Peace  is  on  the  world  abroad ; 
'Tis  the  holy  peace  of  God, 
Symbol  of  the  peace  within 
When  the  spirit  rests  from  sin. 

4  Still  the  Spirit  lingers  near. 
Where  the  evening  worshiper 
Seeks  communion  with  the  skies, 
Pressing  onward  to  the  prize. 

5  Saviour,  may  our  Sabbaths  be 
Days  of  joy  and  peace  in  thee. 
Till  in  heaven  our  souls  repose, 
Where  the  Sabbath  ne'er  shall  close.

Gently  distill  like  early  dew. 

2  Thou  spread'st  the  curtains  of  the  night 
Great  Guardian  of  my  sleeping  hours ; 

Thy  sovereign  word  restores  the  light. 
And  quickens  all  my  drowsy  powers. 

3  I  yield  my  powers  to  thy  command  ; 
To  thee  I  consecrate  my  days  ; 

Perpetual  blessings  from  thy  hand 
Demand  perpetual  songs  of  praise.  ,

A'^O  Evening  hymn. 

1  Glory  to  thee,  my  God,  this  night, 
For  all  the  blessings  of  the  light: 
Keep  me,  O  keep  me,  King  of  kings, 
Beneath  the  shadow  of  thy  wings. 

2  Forgive  me.  Lord,  for  thy  dear  Son, 
The  ill  which  I  this  day  have  done ; 
That  with  the  world,  myself,  and  thee, 
I,  ere  I  sleep,  at  peace  may  be. 

3  Teach  me  to  live,  that  I  may  dread 
The  grave  as  little  as  my  bed  ; 
Teach  me  to  die,  that  so  I  may 

Rise  glorious  at  the  judgment-day. 

4  O  let  my  soul  on  thee  repose. 

And  may  sweet  sleep  mine  eyelids  close  ; 
Sleej),  which  shall  me  more  vigorous  make, 
To  serve  my  God,  when  I  awake. 

5  Lord,  let  my  soul  forever  share 
The  bliss  of  thy  paternal  care  : 

'Tis  heaven  on  earth,  'tis  heaven  above. 
To  see  thy  face,  and  sing  thy  love. 

Thomas  Ecn. 

AUU  Mormng  hymn. 

1  Awake,  my  soul,  and  with  the  sun 
Thy  daily  stage  of  duty  run  ; 

Shake  off  dull  sloth,  and  joyful  rise 
To  pay  thy  morning  sacrifice. 

2  Wal-e,  and  lift  up  thyself,  my  heart, 
And  with  the  angels  bear  thy  part. 
Who  all  night  long  unwearied  sing 
High  praises  to  the  eternal  King.

3  All  praise  to  thee,  who  safe  hast  kept. 
And  hast  refreshed  me  while  I  slept : 
Grant,  Lord,  when  I  from  death  shall  wake, 
I  may  of  endless  life  partake. 

4  Lord,  I  my  vows  to  thee  renew : 
Disperse  my  sins  as  morning  dew  ; 
Guard  my  first  springs  of  thought  and  will. 
And  with  thyself  my  spirit  fill. 

5  Direct,  control,  suggest  this  day. 
All  I  design,  or  do,  or  say ; 

That  all  my  powers,  with  all  their  might, 
In  thy  sole  glory  may  unite.

J-U  /  Morning  prayer. 

1  Now  doth  the  sun  ascend  the  sky, 
And  wake  creation  with  its  ray ; 

Keep  us  from  sin,  O  Lord  most  high. 
Through  all  the  actions  of  the  day. 

2  Curb  thou  for  us  the  unruly  tongue  ; 
Teach  us  the  way  of  peace  to  prize  ; 

And  close  our  eyes  against  the  throng 
Of  earth's  absorbing  vanities. 

3  O  may  our  hearts  be  pure  within  ; 
No  cherished  madness  vex  the  soul: 

May  abstinence  the  flesh  restrain. 
And  its  rebellious  pride  control. 

4  So  when  the  evening  stars  appear, 
And  in  their  train  the  darkness  bring, 

^'ay  we,  O  Lord,  with  conscience  clear, 
Uur  |)raise  to  thy  pure  glorv  sing.

Thus  far  his  power  prolongs  my  days ; 

And  every  evening  shall  make  known 
Some  fresh  memorial  of  his  grace. 

2  Much  of  my  time  has  run  to  waste, 
And  I,  perhaps,  am  near  my  home; 

But  he  forgives  my  follies  past, 

And  gives  me  strength  for  days  to  come. 

3  I  lay  my  body  down  to  sleep  ; 
Peace  is  the  pillow  for  my  head ; 

While  well-appointed  angels  keep 

Their  watchful  stations  round  my  bed. 

4  Thus,  when  the  night  of  death  shall  come, 
My  flesh  shall  rest  beneath  the  ground. 

And  wait  thy  voice  to  rouse  my  tomb. 
With  sweet  salvation  in  the  sound.

Here  find  the  rest  of  God's  own  peace  ; 
And,  strengthened  here  by  hymn  and  prayer. 
Lay  down  the  burden  and  the  care. 

3  O  God,  our  light !  to  thee  we  bow ; 
Within  all  shadows  standest  thou  ; 
Give  deeper  calm  than  night  can  bring  ; 
Give  sweeter  songs  than  lips  can  sing. 


4  Life's  tumult  we  must  meet  again. 
We  cannot  at  the  shrine  remain  ; 
But  in  the  Spirit's  secret  cell 
May  hymn  and  prayer  forever  dwell.

The  morning  light  salutes  mine  eyes, 
O  Sun  of  righteousness  divine ! 
On  me  with  beams  of  mercy  shine; 
O  chase  the  clouds  of  guilt  away. 
And  turn  my  darkness  into  day. 

2  And  when  to  heaven's  all-glorious  King 
My  morning  sacrifice  I  bring. 

And,  mourning  o'er  my  guilt  and  shame. 
Ask  mercy  in  my  Saviour's  name  ; 
Then,  Jesus,  cleanse  me  with  thy  blood. 
And  be  my  Advocate  with  God.

close. 
And  wearied  nature  seeks  repose. 
With  pardoning  mercy  richly  blest. 
Guard  me,  my  Saviour,  while  I  rest ; 
And,  as  each  morning  sun  shall  rise, 
O  lead  me  onward  to  the  skies. 

4  And  at  my  life's  last  setting  sun. 
My  conflicts  o'er,  my  labors  done, 
Jesus,  thy  heavenly  radiance  shed. 
To  cheer  and  bless  my  dying  bed  ; 
And,  from  death's  gloom  my  spirit  raise, 
To  see  thy  face,  and  sing  thy  praise.

The  night  of  death  draws  near.

Upon  our  beds  to  rest ; 

So  death  will  soon  disrobe  us  all 
Of  what  we've  here  possessed.

Secure  from  all  our  fears  ; 

May  angels  guard  us  while  we  sleep, 
Till  morning  light  appears.

Thy  glory  passing  bright  ; 

Thy  wisdom,  with  its  deep  on  deep, 
A  rapture  to  the  sight. 

2  I  see  thee  in  the  eternal  years 
In  glory  all  alone, 

Ere  round  thine  uncreated  fires 
Created  light  had  shone. 

3  I  see  thee  walk  in  Eden's  shade, 
I  see  thee  all  through  time  ; 

Thy  patience  and  compassion  seem 
New  attributes  sublime. 

4  I  see  thee  when  the  doom  is  o'er, 
And  outworn  time  is  done. 

Still,  still  incomprehensible, 
O  God,  yet  not  alone. 

5  Angelic  spirits,  countless  souls. 
Of  thee  have  drunk  their  till  ; 

And  to  eternity  will  drink 
Thy  joy  and  glory  still. 

6  O  little  heart  of  mine  !  shall  pain 
Or  sorrow  make  thee  moan, 

When  all  this  God  is  all  lor  thee.

FIRST  PART. 

The  Unsearchable. 


2  Greatness  unspeakable  is  thine  ; 
Greatness,  whose  undiminished  ray, 

When  short-lived  worlds  are  lost,  shall  shine, 
When  earth  and  heaven  are  fled  away. 

3  Unchangeable,  all-perfect  Lord, 
Essential  life's  unbounded  sea, 

What  lives  and  moves,  lives  by  thy  word  ; 
It  lives,  and  moves,  and  is,  from  thee. 

4  High  is  thy  power  above  all  height; 
Whate'er  thy  will  decrees  is  done; 

Thy  wisdom,  equal  to  thy  might. 
Only  to  thee,  O  God,  is  known! 

Ernest  Lange.    Tr.  by  J.  Wesley. 

J  2"^  SECOND   PART. 

Wisdom,  love,  power. 

1  Thine,  Lord,  is  wisdom,  thine  alone; 
Justice  and  truth  before  thee  stand: 

Yet,  nearer  to  thy  sacred  throne, 
Mercy  withholds  thy  lifted  hand. 

2  Each  evening  shows  thy  tender  love. 
Each  rising  morn  thy  plenteous  grace ; 

Thy  wakened  wrath  doth  slowly  move. 
Thy  willing  mercy  flies  apace. 

3  To  thy  benign,  indulgent  care. 
Father,  this  light,  this  breath,  we  owe ; 

And  all  we  have,  and  all  we  are, 

From  thee,  great  Source  of  being,  flow. 

4  Thrice  Holy  !  thine  the  kingdom  is, 
The  power  omnipotent  is  thine; 

And  when  created  nature  dies, 
Thy  never-ceasing  glories  shine.

How    wide    thy    healing    streams    are

Sinners,  a  vile  and  thankless  race  ! 

O  God,  what  tongue  aright  can  tell 

How  vast  thy  love,  how  great  thy  grace ! 

3  The  dictates  of  thy  sovereign  will 
With  joy  our  grateful  hearts  receive  ; 

All  thy  delight  in  us  fulfill ; 
Lo,  all  we  are  to  thee  we  give.

Refresh  us  with  thy  plenteous  streams. 

2  O  may  our  lips  confess  thy  name. 
Our  holy  lives  thy  power  proclaim ; 
With  love  divine  our  hearts  inspire. 
And  fill  us  with  thy  holy  fire.

-I«jU  Incomprehensible  glory, 

1  God  is  the  name  my  soul  adores, 
The  almighty  Three,  the  eternal  One: 

Nature  and  grace,  with  all  their  powers, 
Confess  the  Infinite  Unknown. 

2  Thy  voice  produced  the  sea  and  spheres. 
Bade  the  waves  roar,  the  planets  shine  ; 

But  nothing  like  thyself  appears 

Through  all  these  spacious  works  of  thine. 

3  Still  restless  nature  dies  and  grows; 
From  change  to  change  the  creatures  run : 

Thy  being  no  succession  knows. 
And  all  thy  vast  designs  are  one. 

4  A  glance  of  thine  runs  through  the  globe. 
Rules  the  bright  worlds,  and  moves  their 

frame ; 
Of  light  thou  form'st  thy  dazzling  robe; 
Thy  ministers  are  living  flame. 

5  How  shall  polluted  mortals  dare 
To  sing  thy  glory  or  thy  grace  ? 

Beneath  thy  feet  we  lie  afar, 

And  see  but  shadows  of  thy  face. 

6  Who  can  behold  the  blazing  light  ? 
Who  can  approach  consuming  flame? 

None  but  thy  wisdom  knows  thy  might ; 
None  but  thy  word  can  speak  thy  name.

2  And  when  thy  purity  we  share, 
Thine  only  glor\-  we  declare  ; 
And,  humbled  into  nothing,  own. 
Holy  and  pure  is  God  alone. 

3  Sole,  self-existing  God  and  Lord, 
By  all  thy  heavenly  hosts  adored, 
Let  all  on  earth  bow  down  to  thee. 
And  own  thy  peerless  majesty  : 

4  Thy  power  unparalleled  confess. 
Established  on  the  rock  of  peace  ; 
The  rock  that  never  shall  remove, 
The  rock  of  pure,  almighty  love. 

Charles  Wesley.

1  Ere  mountains  reared  their  forms  sub-

Or  heaven  and  earth  in  order  stood, 
Before  the  birth  of  ancient  time. 
From  everlasting  thou  art  God. 

2  A  thousand  ages,  in  their  flight, 
With  thee  are  as  a  fleeting  day  ; 

Past,  present,  future,  to  thy  sight 
At  once  their  various  scenes  display. 

3  But  our  brief  life's  a  shadowy  dream, 
A  passing  thought,  that  soon  is  o'er. 

That  fades  with  morning's  earliest  beam. 
And  fills  the  musing  mind  no  more. 

4  To  us,  O  Lord,  the  wisflom  give 
Each  passing  moment  so  to  spend. 

That  we  at  length  with  thee  may  live 
Where  life  and  bliss  shall  never  end.

1  Come,  O  my  soul,  in  sacred  lays, 
Attempt  thy  great  Creator's  praise  : 
But  O  what  tongue  can  speak  his  fame? 
What  mortal  verse  can  reach  the  theme  ? 

2  Enthroned  amid  the  radiant  spheres. 
He  glory  like  a  garment  wears  ; 

To  form  a  robe  of  light  divine, 

Ten  thousand  suns  around  him  shine. 

3  In  all  our  Maker's  grand  designs. 
Omnipotence,  with  wisdom,  shines; 

His  works,  through  all  this  wondrous  frame, 
Declare  the  glory  of  his  name. 

4  Raised  on  devotion's  lofty  wing, 
Do  thou,  my  soul,  his  glories  sing ; 
And  let  his  praise  employ  thy  tongue, 
Till  listening  worlds  shall  join  the  song. 

Thomas  Blacklock. 

134  The  Lord  is  King. 

1  The  Lord  is  King!  lift  up  thy  voice, 
O  earth,  and  all  ye  heavens,  rejoice  ! 
From  world  to  world  the  joy  shall  ring. 
The  Lord  omnipotent  is  King. 

2  The  Lord  is  King  !  child  of  the  dust. 
The  Judge  of  all  the  earth  is  just ; 
Holy  and  true  are  all  his  ways  : 

Let  every  creature  speak  his  praise. 

3  He  reigns  !  ye  saints,  exalt  your  strains ; 
Your  God  is  King,  your  Father  reigns  ; 
And  he  is  at  the  Father's  side, 

The  Man  of  love,  the  Crucified. 


4  Come,   make  your  wants,  your  burdens 

known. 
He  will  present  them  at  the  throne ; 
And  angel  bands  are  waiting  there 
His  messages  of  love  to  bear. 

5  O  when  his  wisdom  can  mistake. 
His  might  decay,  his  love  forsake. 
Then  may  his  children  cease  to  sing. 
The  Lord  omnipotent  is  King. 

Josiah  Conder.

1  Lord  of  all  being !  throned  afar. 
Thy  glory  flames  from  sun  and  star  , 
Center  and  soul  of  every  sphere. 
Yet  to  each  loving  heart  how  near  ! 

2  Sun  of  our  life,  thy  quickening  ray 
Sheds  on  our  path  the  glow  of  day ; 
Star  of  our  hope,  thy  softened  light 
Cheers  the  long  watches  of  the  night. 

3  Our  midnight  is  thy  smile  withdrawn  ; 
Our  noontide  is  thy  gracious  dawn  ; 
Our  rainbow  arch  thy  mercy's  sign ; 
All,  save  the  clouds  of  sin,  are  thine  ! 

4  Lord  of  all  life,  below,  above. 

Whose  light  is  truth,  whose  warmth  is  love. 
Before  thy  ever-blazing  throne 
We  ask  no  luster  of  our  own. 

5  Grant  us  thy  truth  to  make  us  free. 
And  kindling  hearts  that  burn  for  thee. 
Till  all  thy  living  altars  claim 

One  holy  light,  one  heavenly  flame.

Keep  the  wide  world  in  awe ; 

His  wrath  and  justice  stand 
To  guard  his  holy  law ; 
And  where  his  love  resolves  to  bless, 
His  truth  confirms  and  seats  tne  grace. 

3  Through  all  his  mighty  works 
Amazing  wisdom  shines; 


Confounds  the  powers  of  hell, 
And  all  their  dark  designs; 
Strong  is  his  arm,  and  shall  fulfill 
His  great  decrees  and  sovereign  will. 

4  And  will  this  sovereign  King 

Of  glory  condescend, 
And  will  he  write  his  name. 

My  Father  and  my  Friend  ? 
I  love  his  name,  I  love  his  word ; 
Join  all  my  powers  to  praise  the  Lord.

Chanting-  everlastingly 
To  the  blessed  Trinity.

And  in  thee  do  all  things  live, 

Be  to  thee  all  honor  paid  ; 

Praise  to  thee  let  all  things  give. 
Singing  everlastingly 
To  the  blessed  Trinity.

And,  when  thy  commands  are  done, 
Singing  everlastingly 
To  the  blessed  Trinity.

Veil  their  faces  with  their  wings; 
Eyes  of  angels  are  too  dim 

To  behold  the  King  of  kings. 
While  they  sing  eternally 
To  the  blessed  Trinity. 

5  Thee  apostles,  prophets  thee. 
Thee  the  noble  martyr  band. 

Praise  with  solemn  jubilee, 

Thee,  the  Church  in  every  land; 
Singing  everlastingly 
To  the  blessed  Trinity. 


6  Hallelujah !  Lord,  to  thee. 
Father,  Son,  and  Holy  Ghost ;

Join  us  with  the  heavenly  host, 

Singing  everlastingly 

To  the  blessed  Trinity.

Praise  the  Lord,  for  he  is  kind, 
For  his  mercies  shall  endure. 
Ever  faithful,  ever  sure. 

Let  us  sound  his  name  abroad, 
For  of  gods  he  is  the  God, 
Who  by  wisdom  did  create 
Heaven's  e.xpanse  and  all  its  state; 

2  Did  the  solid  earth  ordain 
How  to  rise  above  th?  main ; 
Who,  by  his  commanding  might. 
Filled  the  new-made  world  with  light: 
Caused  the  golden  tressed  sun 

All  the  day  his  course  to  run ; 
And  the  moon  to  shine  by  night, 
'Mid  her  spangled  sisters  bright. 

3  All  his  creatures  God  doth  feed, 
His  full  hand  supplies  their  need  ; 
He  hath  with  a  pitying  eye 
Looked  upon  our  misery: 

Let  us,  therefore,  warble  forth 
His  high  majesty  and  worth. 
For  his  mercies  shall  endure. 
Ever  faithful,  ever  sure.

1  Father,  how  wide  thy  glory  shines. 
How  high  thy  wonders  rise ! 

Known  through  the  earth  by  thousand 
signs, 
By  thousands  through  the  skies. 

2  Those  mighty  orbs  proclaim  thy  power ; 
Their  motions  speak  thy  skill : 

And  on  the  wings  of  every  hour 
We  read  thy  patience  still. 

3  Part  of  thy  name  divinely  stands 
On  all  thy  creatures  writ ; 

They  show  the  labor  of  thy  hands. 
Or  impress  of  thy  feet : 

4  But  when  we  view  thy  strange  design 
To  save  rebellious  worms. 

Where  vengeance  and  compassion  join 
In  their  divinest  forms; 

5  Here  the  whole  Deity  is  known. 
Nor  dares  a  creature  guess 

■    Which  of  the  glories  brighter  shone. 
The  justice  or  the  grace, 

6  Now  the  full  glories  of  the  Lamb 
Adorn  the  heavenly  plains ; 

Bright  seraphs  learn  Immanuel's  name. 
And  try  their  choicest  strains. 

7  O  may  I  bear  some  humble  part 
In  that  immortal  song ! 

Wonder  and  joy  shall  tune  my  heart. 
And  love  command  my  tongue, 

Isaac  Watts.

Thy  majesty  how  bright, 

How  beautiful  thy  mercy-seat 
In  depths  of  burning  light! 

2  How  dread  are  thine  eternal  years, 
O  everlasting  Lord, 

By  prostrate  spirits  day  and  night 
Incessantly  adored !

The  sight  of  thee  must  be, 

Thine  endless  wisdom,  boundless  power, 
And  awful  purity ! 

4  O  how  I  fear  thee,  living  God, 
With  deepest,  tenderest  fears, 

And  worship  thee  with  trembling  hope. 
And  penitential  tears. 

5  Yet  I  may  love  thee  too,  O  Lord, 
Almighty  as  thou  art; 

For  thou  hast  stooped  to  ask  of  me 
The  love  of  my  poor  heart, 

6  No  earthly  father  loves  like  thee, 
No  mother  half  so  mild 

Bears  and  forbears,  as  thou  hast  done 
With  me,  thy  sinful  child, 

7  Father  of  Jesus,  love's  reward ! 
What  rapture  will  it  be. 

Prostrate  before  thy  throne  to  lie 
And  gaze,  and  gaze  on  thee !

J.4t7     The  wideness  of  God's  merci/. 

1  There's  a  wideness  in  God's  mercy. 
Like  the  wideness  of  the  sea: 

There  's  a  kindness  in  his  justice, 
Which  is  more  than  liberty. 

2  There  is  welcome  for  the  sinner. 
And  more  graces  for  the  good  ; 

There  is  mercy  with  the  Saviour; 
There  is  healing  in  his  blood. 

3  For  the  love  of  God  is  broader 
Than  the  measure  of  man's  mind  ; 

And  the  heart  of  the  Eternal 
Is  most  wonderfully  kind. 

4  If  our  love  were  but  more  simple, 
We  should  take  him  at  his  word  ; 

And  our  lives  would  be  all  sunshine 
In  the  sweetness  of  our  Lord. 

Frederick  W.  Fabar. 

JOU     U7uhanging  wisdom  and  love. 

1  God  is  love ;  his  mercy  brightens 
All  the  path  in  which  we  rove; 

Bliss  he  wakes  and  woe  he  lightens; 
God  is  wisdom,  God  is  love. 

2  Chance  and  change  are  busy  ever; 
Man  decays,  and  ages  move; 

But  his  mercy  waneth  never; 
God  is  wisdom,  God  is  love. 

3  E'en  the  hour  that  darkest  seemeth. 
Will  his  changeless  goodness  prove ; 

From  the  gloom  his  brightness  streameth, 
God  is  wisdom,  God  is  love. 

4  He  with  earthly  cares  entwineth 
Hope  and  comfort  from  above; 

Every-where  his  glory  shineth; 
God  is  wisdom,  God  is  love.

Didst  all  our  griefs  remove, 

0  Saviour,  do  not  now  disdain 
Our  humble  praise  and  love. 

2  Since  thou  a  pitying  ear  didst  give, 
And  hear  us  when  we  prayed. 

We'll  call  upon  thee  while  we  live. 
And  never  doubt  thy  aid. 

3  Pale  death,  with  all  his  ghastly  train. 
Our  souls  encompassed  round  ; 

Anguish,  and  sin,  and  dread,  and  pain. 
On  every  side  we  found. 

4  To  thee,  O  Lord  of  life,  we  prayed, 
And  did  for  succor  flee: 

"O  save,"  in  our  distress  we  said, 
"The  souls  that  trust  in  thee." 

5  How   good   thou  art!    how   large   thy 

grace ! 
How  ready  to  forgive ! 
Thy  mercies  crown  our  fleeting  days ; 
And  by  thy  love  we  live. 

6  Our  eyes  no  longer  drowned  in  tears. 
Our  feet  from  falling  free. 

Redeemed  from  death  and  guilty  fears, 
O  Lord,  we  '11  live  to  thee. 

Charles  Wesley. 

JLOO  The  sure  refuge. 

1  There  is  a  safe  and  secret  place 
Beneath  the  wings  divine. 

Reserved  for  all  the  heirs  of  grace ; 
O  be  that  refuge  mine ! 


2  The  least  and  feeblest  there  may  bide, 
Uninjured  and  unawed; 

While  thousands  fall  on  every  side. 
He  rests  secure  in  God. 

3  The  angels  watch  him  on  his  \yay. 
And  aid  with  friendly  arm ; 

And  Satan,  roaring  for  his  prey, 
May  hate,  but  cannot  harm. 

4  He  feeds  in  pastures  large  and  fair 
Of  love  and  truth  divine: 

0  child  of  God,  O  glory's  heir. 
How  rich  a  lot  is  thine ! 

5  A  hand  almighty  to  defend. 
An  ear  for  every  call. 

An  honored  life,  a  peaceful  end. 
And  heaven  to  crown  it  all !

On  every  hand  we  see ; 

O  may  the  blessings  of  each  hour 
Lead  all  our  thoughts  to  thee. 

2  If  on  the  wings  of  morn  we  speed. 
To  earth's  remotest  bound, 

Thy  hand  will  there  our  footsteps  lead. 
Thy  love  our  path  surround. 

3  Thy  power  is  in  the  ocean  deeps, 
And  reaches  to  the  skies ; 

Thine  eye  of  mercy  never,  sleeps, 
Thy  goodness  never  dies. 

4  From  morn  till  noon — till  latest  eve. 
Thy  hand,  O  God,  we  see ; 

And  all  the  blessings  we  receive. 
Proceed  alone  from  thee.

MANOAH.      C.  M. 


From  Mehcl  and  IlATnv. 


160  Gratitude. 

1  When  all  thy  mercies,  O  my  God, 
My  rising  soul  surveys, 

Transported  with  the  view,  I  'm  lost 
In  wonder,  love,  and  praise. 

2  O  how  can  words  with  equal  warmth 
The  gratitude  declare. 

That  glows  within  my  ravished  heart? 
But  thou  canst  read  it  there. 

3  To  all  my  weak  complaints  and  cries, 
Thy  mercy  lent  an  ear. 

Ere  yet  my  feeble  thoughts  had  learned 
To  form  themselves  in  prayer. 

4  When  in  the  slippery  paths  of  youth, 
With  heedless  steps  I  ran, 

Thine  arm,  unseen,  conveyed  me  safe. 
And  led  me  up  to  man. 

5  Through    hidden    dangers,    toils,   and 

deaths, 
It  gently  cleared  my  way; 
And  through  the  pleasing  snares  of  vice, 
More  to  be  feared  than  they. 

6  Through  every  period  of  my  life 
Thy  goodness  I  '11  pursue; 

And  after  death,  in  distant  worlds. 
The  pleasing-  theme  renew. 

7  Through  all  eternity  to  thee 
A  grateful  song  1  '11  raise ; 

But  O,  eternity's  too  short 
To  utter  all  thy  praise. 

Joseph  Addison.

AoJL  Verily,  thozi  art  a  God  that  hidest  thyself. 
Isa.  45:  15. 

1  God  moves  in  a  mysterious  way 
His  wonders  to  perform  ; 

He  plants  his  footsteps  in  the  sea. 
And  rides  upon  the  storm, 

2  Deep  in  unfathomable  mines 
Of  never-failing  skill, 

He  treasures  up  his  bright  designs, 
And  works  his  sovereign  will. 

3  Ye  fearful  sajnts,  fresh  courage  take: 
The  clouds  ye  so  much  dread 

Are  big  with  mercy,  and  shall  break 
In  blessings  on  your  head. 

4  Judge  not  the  Lord  by  feeble  sense, 
But  trust  him  for  his  grace; 

Behind  a  frowning  providence 
He  hides  a  smiling  face. 

5  His  purposes  will  ripen  fast. 
Unfolding  every  hour: 

The  bud  may  have  a  bitter  taste, 
But  sweet  will  be  the  flower. 

6  Blind  unbelief  is  sure  to  err, 
And  scan  his  work  in  vain : 

God  is  his  own  interpreter, 
And  he  will  make  it  plain. 

William  Cowper. 

Doxologtf. 
To  Father,  Son,  and  Holy  Ghost, 

The  God  whom  we  adore, 
Be  glory,  as  it  was,  is  now. 

And  shall  be  evermore  ! 

Tato  and  Brmdy.

1  Kingdoms  and  thrones  to  God  belong; 
Crown  him,  ye  nations,  in  your  song-; 

His  wondrous  names  and  powers  rehearse ; 
His  honors  shall  enrich  your  verse. 

2  He  shakes  the  heavens  with  loud  alarms ; 

How  terrible  is  God  in  arms ! 
In  Israel  are  his  mercies  known, 
Israel  is  his  peculiar  throne. 

3  Proclaim  him  King,  pronounce  him  blest ; 
He 's  your  defense,  your  joy,  your  rest : 
When  terrors  rise  and  nations  faint, 

God  is  the  strength  of  every  saint. 

Isaac  Watts. 
Xu«3         Go(V s  preaence  vnth  Jm  people. 

1  When  Israel,  of  the  Lord  beloved, 
Out  from  the  land  of  bondage  came. 

Her  fathers'  God  before  her  moved. 
An  awful  guide,  in  smoke  and  flame. 

2  By  day,  along  the  astonished  lands 
The  cloudy  pillar  glided  slow; 

By  night,  Arabia's  crimsoned  sands 
Returned  the  fiery  column's  glow. 

3  Thus  present  still,  though  now  unseen. 
When  brightly  shines  the  prosperous  day, 

Be  thoughts  of  thee  a  cloudy  screen, 
To  temper  the  deceitful  ray. 

4  And  O,  when  gathers  on  our  path. 

In  shade  and  storm,  the  frequent  night, 
Be  thou,  long-suffering,  slow  to  wrath, 
A  burning  and  a  shining  light. 

Sir  Walter  Scott. 

J.o4  The  great  Provider. 

1  Peace,  troubled  soul,  thou  need'st  not  fear ; 
Thy  great  Provider  still  is  near ; 


60 


Who  fed  thee  last,  will  feed  thee  still: 
Be  calm,  and  sink  into  his  will. 

2  The  Lord,  who  built  the  earth  and  sky. 
In  mercy  stoops  to  hear  thy  cr^' ; 

His  promise  all  may  freely  claim : 
Ask  and  receive  in  Jesus'  name. 

3  Without  reserve  give  Christ  your  heart ; 
Let  him  his  righteousness  impart ; 

Then  all  things  else  he  '11  freely  give ; 
With  him  you  all  things  shall  receive. 

4  Thus  shall  the  soul  be  truly  blest. 
That  seeks  in  God  his  only  rest ; 
May  I  that  happy  person  be. 

In  time  and  in  eternity. 

Samuel  Ecking. 

JLOO  God  our  shield. 

1  The  tempter  to  my  soul  hath  said, 
"There  is  no  help  in  God  for  thee:" 

Lord,  lift  thou  up  thy  servant's  head ; 
My  glory,  shield,  and  solace  be. 

2  Thus  to  the  Lord  I  raised  my  cry: 
He  heard  me  from  his  holy  hill ; 

At  his  command  the  waves  rolled  by; 
He  beckoned,  and  the  winds  were  still. 

3  I  laid  me  down  and  slept, — I  woke ; 
Thou,  Lord,  my  spirit  didst  sustain  ; 

Bright  from  the  east  the.  morning  broke, 
Thy  comforts  rose  on  me  again. 

4  I  will  not  fear,  though  armed  throngs 
Surround  my  steps  in  all  their  wrath  ; 

Salvation  to  the  Lord  belongs ; 

His  presence  guards  his  people's  path.

2  Did  we  in  our  own  strength  confide. 
Our  striving  would  be  losing; 

Were  not  the  right  man  on  our  side, 
The  man  of  God's  own  choosing. 

Dost  ask  who  that  may  be.'' 

Christ  Jesus,  it  is  he; 

Lord  Sabaoth  is  his  name, 

From  age  to  age  the  same, 
And  he  must  win  the  battle. 

3  And  though  this  world,  with  devils  filled, 
Should  threaten  to  undo  us; 

We  will  not  fear,  for  God  hath  willed 
His  truth  to  triumph  through  us. 


— F!Enzr£:— -BEi:l-3";3H:^:5li] 


The  Prince  of  darkness  grim — 
We  tremble  not  for  him ; 
His  rage  we  can  endure. 
For  lo!  his  doom  is  sure. 

One  little  word  shall  fell  him. 

4  That  word  above  all  earthly  powers- 
No  thanks  to  them — y.bideth  ; 

The  Spirit  and  the  gifts  are  ours 
Through  him  who  with  us  sideth. 

Let  goods  and  kindred  go, 

This  mortal  life  also: 

The  body  they  may  kill : 

God's  truth  abideth  still, 
His  kingdom  is  forever.

In  trouble  our  unfailing  aid  : 

Secure  in  his  omnipotence, 

What  foe  can  make  our  souls  afraid  ? 

2  Yea,  though  the  earth's  foundations  rock, 
And  mountains  down  the  gulf  be  hurled. 

His  people  smile  amid  the  shock : 

They  look  beyond  this  transient  world. 

3  There  is  a  river  pure  and  bright, 
Whose  streams  make  glad  the  heavenly 

plains; 
Where,  in  eternity  of  light, 
The  city  of  our  God  remains. 

4  Built  by  the  word  of  his  command, 
With  his  unclouded  presence  blest, 

Firm  as  his  throne  the  bulwarks  stand ; 
There  is  our  home,  our  hope,  our  rest.

Through  varied  deaths  my  soul  hath  led. 

Or  turned  aside  the  fatal  hour. 
Or  lifted  up  my  sinking  head  ; 

2  In  all  my  ways  thy  hand  I  own. 
Thy  ruling  providence  I  see ; 

Assist  me  still  my  course  to  run, 
And  still  direct  my  paths  to  thee. 

3  Whither,  O  whither  should  I  fly, 
But  to  my  loving  Saviour's  breast? 

Secure  within  thine  arms  to  lie, 

And  safe  beneath  thy  wings  to  rest.

4  I  have  no  skill  the  snare  to  shun. 
But  thou,  O  Christ,  my  wisdom  art: 

I  ever  into  ruin  run. 

But  thou  art  greater  than  my  heart 

5  Foolish,  and  impotent,  and  blind. 
Lead  me  a  way  I  have  not  known ; 

Bring  me  where  I  my  heaven  may  find. 
The  heaven  of  loving  thee  alone.

Forever  be  thy  name  adored ;

The  servant  is  above  his  Lord. 

2  Inured  to  poverty  and  pain, 

A  suffering  life  my  Master  led ; 
The  Son  of  God,  the  Son  of  man. 
He  had  not  where  to  lay  his  head. 

3  But  lo !  a  place  he  hath  prepared 
For  me,  whom  watchful  angels  keep; 

Yea,  he  himself  becomes  my  guard ; 

He  smooths  my  bed,  and  gives  me  sleep. 

4  Jesus  protects ;  my  fears,  be  gone : 
What  can  the  Rock  of  ages  move  ? 

Safe  in  thy  arms  I  lay  me  down. 
Thine  everlasting  arms  of  love. 

5  While  thou  art  intimately  nigh. 
Who,  who  shall  violate  my  rest? 

Sin,  earth,  and  hell  I  now  defy: 
I  lean  upon  my  Saviour's  breast. 

6  I  rest  beneath  the  Almighty's  shade; 
My  griefs  expire,  my  troubles  cease; 

Thou,  Lord,  on  whom  my  soul  is  stayed, 
Wilt  keep  me  still  in  perfect  peace.

A  / 15  Omnipotent  goodness. 

1  Away,  my  needless  fears, 
And  doubts  no  longer  mine ; 

A  ray  of  heavenly  light  appears, 
A  messenger  divine. 

2  Thrice  comfortable  hope. 
That  calms  my  troubled  breast; 

My  Father's  hand  prepares  the  cup. 
And  what  he  wills  is  best. 

3  If  what  I  wish  is  good. 
And  suits  the  will  divine. 

By  earth  and  hell  in  vain  withstood, 
I  know  it  shall  be  mine. 

4  Still  let  them  counsel  take 
To  frustrate  his  decree ; 

They  cannot  keep  a  blessing  back. 
By  Heaven  designed  for  me.

But  in  his  pleasure  rest, 

Whose  wisdom,  love,  and  truth,  and  power, 
Engage  to  make  me  blest.

Thy  paths  we  cannot  trace  ; 

Nor  solve,  O  Lord,  the  mystery 
Of  thy  unbounded  grace.

Our  captive  souls  surround  ; 

Mysterious  deeps  of  providence 
Our  wondering  thoughts  confound.

3  As  through  a  glass  we  see 
The  wonders  of  thy  love ; 

How  little  do  we  know  of  thee. 
Or  of  the  joys  above ! 

4  In  part  we  know  thy  will, 
And  bless  thee  for  the  sight : 

Soon  will  thy  love  the  rest  reveal 
In  glory's  clearer  light. 

5  With  joy  shall  we  sur\'ey 
Thy  providence  and  grace  ; 

And  spend  an  everlasting  day 
In  wonder,  love,  and  praise.

Come,  cast  your  i^urdens  on  the  Lord, 
And  trust  his  constant  care. 

2  Beneath  his  watchful  eye

That  hand  which  bears  all  nature  up 
Shall  guard  his  children  well. 

3  Why  should  this  anxious  load 
Press  down  your  weary  mind? 

Haste  to  your  heavenly  Father's  throne. 
And  sweet  refreshment  find.

Unchanged  from  day  to  day:

O  thou  most  gracious  Lord  ! 
Afflictions  came  at  thy  command, 
And  left  us  at  thy  word. 

2  How  gentle  was  the  rod 
That  chastened  us  for  sin  ! 

How  soon  we  found  a  smiling  God 
Where  deep  distress  had  been  !

A  Father's  love  we  knew : 

'Mid  tears  of  penitence  we  knelt, 
And  found  his  promise  true.

On  the  Redeemer's  breast, 

'Mid  raging  storms,  exults  to  find 
An  everlasting  rest. 

3  Sorrow  and  fear  are  gone, 
Whene'er  thy  face  appears ; 

It  stills  the  sighing  orphan's  moan. 
And  dries  the  widow's  tears. 

4  It  hallows  every  cross; 
It  sweetly  comforts  me  ; 

Makes  me  forget  my  every  loss. 
And  find  my  all  in  thee. 

5  Jesus,  to  whom  I  fly. 
Doth  all  my  wishes  fill ;" 

What  though  created  streams  are  drj'  f 
I  have  the  fountain  still.

I  find  them  all  in  one; 

And  peace  and  joy  which  never  end. 
And  heaven,  in  Christ  alone.

On  his  vesture  and  his  ihigh, 
Names  most  awful,  names  most  high. 

3  Wonderful  in  counsel  he, 
Christ,  the  incarnate  Deity; 
Sire  of  ages,  ne'er  to  cease; 

King  of  kings,  and  Prince  of  peace. 

4  Come  and  worship  at  his  feet; 
Yield  to  him  the  homage  meet; 
From  the  manger  to  the  throne. 
Homage  due  to  GotI  alone.

Xy  ^5    Good  tidings  of  great  joy. — Luke  2:10. 

3  "To  you,  in  David's  town,  this  day 
Is  born,  of  David's  line. 

The  Saviour,  who  is  Christ  the  Lord ; 
And  this  shall  be  the  sign : 

4  "  The  heavenly  babe  you  there  shall  find 
To  human  view  displayed, 

All  meanly  wrapped  in  swathing-bands, 
And  in  a  manger  laid." 

5  Thus  spake  the  seraph  ;  and  forthwith 
Appeared  a  shining  throng 

Of  angels,  praising  God  on  high. 
Who  thus  addressed  their  song: 

6  "  All  glory  be  to  God  on  high, 
And  to  the  earth  be  peace : 

Good-will  henceforth  from  heaven  to  men. 
Begin  and  never  cease." 

Tate  and  Brady. 

J-t/O     Glory  to  God  in  the  highest. 

1  Mortals,  awake,  with  angels  join, 

And  chant  the  solemn  lay ; 
Joy,  love,  and  gratitude  combine. 

To  hail  the  auspicious  day.

2  In  heaven  the  rapturous  song  began. 
And  sweet  seraphic  fire 

Through  all  the  shining  legions  ran. 
And  strung  and  tuned  the  lyre. 

3  Swift  through  the  vast  expanse  it  flew. 
And  loud  the  echo  rolled ; 

The  theme,  the  song,  the  joy,  was  new, — 
'Twas  more  than  heaven  could  hold. 

4  Down  through  the  portals  of  the  sky 
The  impetuous  torrent  ran ; 

And  angels  flew,  with  eager  joy, 
To  bear  the  news  to  man. 

5  Hark  !  the  cherubic  armies  shout. 
And  glory  leads  the  song : 

Good-will  and  peace  are  heard  throughout 
The  harmonious  heavenly  throng. 

6  With  joy  the  chorus  we  repeat, 
"  Glory  to  God  on  high ! " 

Good-will  and  peace  are  now  complete, 
Jesus  was  born  to  die. 

7  Hail,  Prince  of  life,  forever  hail ! 
Redeemer,  Brother,  Friend! 

Though  earth,  and  time,  and  life  shall  fail. 
Thy  praise  shall  never  end.

J.t74  Christmas  carol. 

1  It  came  upon  the  midnig-ht  clear, 

That  glorious  song'  of  old, 
From  angels  bending  near  the  earth 

To  touch  their  harps  of  gold  ; 
"  Peace  on  the  earth,  good-will  to  men. 

From  heaven's  all-gracious  King." 
The  world  in  solemn  stillness  lay 

To  hear  the  angels  sing. 

3  Still   through   the   cloven   skies   they 
come 

"With  peaceful  wings  unfurled. 
And  still  their  heavenly  music  floats 

O'er  all  the  weary  world  ; 
Above  its  sad  and  lowly  plains 

They  bend  on  hovering  wing, 
And  ever  o'er  its  Babel  sounds 

The  blessed  angels  sing. 

3  But  with  the  woes  of  sin  and  strife 
The  world  has  suffered  long; 

Beneath  the  angel-strain  have  rolled 
T.  wo  thousand  years  of  wrong ; 

And  man,  at  war  with  man,  hears  not 
The  love  song  which  they  bring : 

O  hush  the  noise,  ye  men  of  strife, 
And  hear  the  angels  sing  ! 

4  And  ye,  beneath  life  s  crushing  load, 
Whose  forms  are  bending  low, 

Who  toil  along  the  climbing  way 
With  painful  steps  and  slow. 

Look  now!  for  glad  and  golden  hours 
Come  swiftly  on  the  wing: 

O  rest  beside  the  weary  road. 
And  hear  the  angels  sing! 

5  For  lo  !  the  days  are  hastening  on 
By  .prophet-bards  foretold. 

When  with  the  ever-circling  years 
Comes  round  the  age  of  gold  ; 

When  peace  shall  over  all  the  earth 
Its  ancient  splendors  fling, 

And  the  whole  world  give  back  the  song 
Which  now  the  angels  sing. 

Udmund  E.  Soars.

J-i/D  Christmas  anthem. 

1  Calm  on  the  listening  ear  of  night, 
Come  heaven's  melodious  strains. 

Where  wild  Judea  stretches  far 

Her  silver-mantled  plains; 
Celestial  choirs  from  courts  above 

Shed  sacred  glories  there ; 
And  angels,  with  their  sparkling  lyres, 

Make  music  on  the  air. 

2  The  answering  hills  of  Palestine 
Send  back  the  glad  reply. 

And  greet  from  all  their  holy  heights 
The  Dayspring  from  on  high: 

O  'er  the  blue  depths  of  Galilee 
There  comes  a  holier  calm  ; 

And  Sharon  waves  in  solemn  praise 
Her  silent  groves  of  palm. 

3  "  Glory  to  God !"  the  lofty  strain 
The  realm  of  ether  fills  ; 

How  sweeps  the  song  of  solemn  joy 

O  'er  Judah's  sacred  hills  ! 
"  Glory  to  God  ! "  the  sounding  skies 

Loud  with  their  anthems  ring: 
"Peace  on  the  earth  ;  good-will  to  men, 

From  heaven's  eternal  King." 

4  Light  on  thy  hills,  Jerusalem ! 
The  Saviour  now  is  born: 

More  bright  on  Bethlehem's  joyous  plains 
Breaks  the  first  Christmas  morn ; 

And  brighter  on  Moriah's  brow. 
Crowned  with  her  temple  spires. 

Which  first  proclaim  the   newborn  light, 
Clothed  with  its  orient  fires. 

5  This  day  shall  Christian  tongues  be  mute, 
And  Christian  hearts  be  cold  ? 

O  catch  the  anthem  tiiat  from  heaven 
O  'er  Judah's  mountains  rolled  ! 

When  nightly  burst  from  seraph-harps 
The  high  and  solemn  lay, — 

"  Glor)'  to  God  ;  on  earth  be  peace  ; 
Salvation  comes  to-day!"

J  y  D  Patience  of  Jesus. 

1  What  grace,  O  Lord,  and  beauty  shone 
Around  thy  steps  below! 

What  patient  love  was  seen  in  all 
Thy  life  and  death  of  woe! 

2  For,  ever  on  thy  burdened  heart 
A  weight  of  sorrow  hung; 

Yet  no  ungentle,  murmuring  word 

Escaped  thy  silent  tongue. 
I 

3  Thy  foes  might  hate,  despise,  revile. 
Thy  friends  unfaithful  prove  ; 

Unwearied  in  forgiveness  still. 
Thy  heart  could  only  love. 

4  O  give  us  hearts  to  love  like  thee, 
Like  thee,  O  Lord,  to  grieve 

Far  more  for  others'  sins,  than  all 
The  wrongs  that  we  receive. 

5  One  with  thyself,  may  every  eye 
In  us,  thy  brethren,  see 

That  gentleness  and  grace  that  spring 
From  union,  Lord,  with  thee. 

Sir  Edward  Semiy. 

J.  y  T  A  present  help. 

1  We  may  not  climb  the  heavenly  steeps 
To  bring  the  Lord  Christ  down  ; 

In  vain  we  search  the  lowest  deeps. 
For  him  no  depths  can  drown. 

2  But  warm,  sweet,  tender,  even  yet 
A  present  help  is  he ; 

And  faith  has  yet  its  Olivet, 
And  love  its  Galilee.

3  The  healing  of  the  seamless  dress 
Is  by  our  beds  of  pain ; 

We  touch  him  in  life's  throng  and  press, 
And  we  are  whole  again. 

4  Through  him  the  first  fond  prayers  are 

said 
Our  lips  of  childhood  frame ; 
The  last  low  whispers  of  our  dead 
Are  burdened  with  his  name. 

5  O  Lord  and  Master  of  us  all, 
Whate  'er  our  name  or  sign, 

We  own  thy  sway,  we  hear  thy  call. 
We  test  our  lives  by  thine !

While  Jesus  bowed  in  prayer. 

Beheld  his  vesture  glow  with  light. 
His  face  shine  wondrous  fair. 

2  And  lo !  with  the  transfigured  Lord, 
Leader  and  seer  they  saw ; 

With  Carmel's  hoary  prophet  stood 
The  giver  of  the  law. 

3  From  the  low-bending  cloud  above, 
Whence  radiant  brightness  shone. 

Spake  out  the  Father's  voice  of  love, 
"Hear  my  beloved  Son ! " 

4  Lord,  lead  us  to  the  mountain  height; 
To  prayer's  transfiguring  glow ; 

And  clothe  us  with  the  Spirit's  might 
For  grander  work  below.

1  O  Master,  it  is  good  to  be 

High  on  the  mountain  here  with  thee. 
Where  stand  revealed  to  mortal  gaze 
Those  glorious  saints  of  other  days. 
Who  once  received  on  Horeb's  height 
The  eternal  laws  of  truth  and  right, 
Or  caught  the  still  small  whisper,  higher 
Than  storm,  than  earthquake,  or  than  fire. 

2  O  Master,  it  is  good  to  be 
Entranced,  enwrapt,  alone  with  thee  ; 
And  watch  thy  glistering  raiment  glow 
Whiter  than  Hermon's  whitest  snow; 
The  human  lineaments  that  shine 
Irradiant  with  a  light  divine; 

Till  we  too  change  from  grace  to  grace. 
Gazing  on  that  transfigured  face. 

3  O  Master,  it  is  good  to  be 
Here  on  the  holy  mount  with  thee: 
When  darkling  in  the  depths  of  night, 
When  dazzled  with  excess  of  light. 
We  bow  before  the  heavenly  voice 
That  bids  bewildered  souls  rejoice, 
Though  love  wax  cold,  and  faith  be  dim, 
"This  is  my  Son,  O  hear  ye  him."

.4U-1  Receive  thy  sight. — Luke  18:  42. 

1  When  the  blind  suppliant  in  the  way, 
By  friendly  hands  to  Jesus  led. 

Prayed  to  behold  the  light  of  day, 

"  Receive  thy  sight,"  the  Saviour  said. 

2  At  once  he  saw  the  pleasant  rays 
That  lit  the  glorious  firmament ; 

And,  with  firm  step  and  words  of  praise. 
He  followed  where  the  Master  went, 

3  Look  down  in  pity.  Lord,  we  pray. 
On  eyes  oppressed  by  moral  night. 

And  touch  the  darkened  lids,  and  say 
The  gracious  words,  "Receive  thy  sight." 

4  Then,  in  clear  daylight,  shall  we  see 
Where  walked  the  sinless  Son  of  God; 

And,  aided  by  new  strength  from  thee, 
Press  onward  in  the  path  he  trod. 

'William  C.  Bryant. 

<i\j4i  Meekness  of  Christ. 

1  How  beauteous  were  the  marks  divine^ 
That  in  thy  meekness  used  to  shine, 
That  lit  thy  lonely  pathway,  trod 

In  wondrous  love,  O  Son  of  God ! 

2  O  who  like  thee,  so  mild,  so  bright. 
Thou  Son  of  man,  thou  Light  of  light? 
O  who  like  thee  did  ever  go 

So  patient,  through  a  world  of  woe.'* 

3  O  who  like  thee  so  humbly  bore 
The  scorn,  the  scoffs  of  men,  before? 
So  meek,  so  lowly,  yet  so  high. 

So  glorious  in  humility? 

4  And  death,  that  sets  the  prisoner  free, 
Was  pang,  and  scoff,  and  scorn  to  thee; 
Yet  love  through  all  thy  torture  glowed, 
And  mercy  with  thy  life-blood  flowed. 

5  O  wondrous  Lord,  my  soul  would  be 
Still  more  and  more  conformed  to  thee. 
And  learn  of  thee,  the  lowly  One, 

And  like  thee,  all  my  journey  run.

Here  we  gather  faith  to  die.

All  my  spirit  sinks  with  awe.

At  the  too  transporting  light. 
Darkness  rushes  o'er  my  sight.

Shines  in  my  Redeemer's  face, 
Full  of  beauty,  truth,  and  grace.

The  sinner's  hope  let  men  deride. 

For  this  we  count  the  world  but  loss. 

2  Inscribed  upon  the  cross  we  see. 
In  shining  letters,  "God  is  Love;" 

He  bears  our  sins  upon  the  tree. 
He  brings  us  mercy  from  above. 

3  The  cross  !  it  takes  our  guilt  away ; 
It  holds  the  fainting  spirit  up  ; 

It  cheers  with  hope  the  gloomy  day. 
And  sweetens  every  bitter  cup. 

4  It  makes  the  coward  spirit  brave, 
And  nerves  the  feeble  arm  for  fight ; 

It  takes  its  terror  from  the  grave. 

And  gilds  the  bed  of  death  with  light : 

5  The  balm  of  life,  the  cure  of  woe. 
The  measure  and  the  pledge  of  love. 

The  sinner's  refuge  here  below. 

The  angels'  theme  in  heaven  above. 

Thomaa  Kelly. 

f^Oy     The  hidings  of  the  Father'' s  face, 

1  P'rom  Calvary  a  cr>'  was  heard, 
A  bitter  and  heart-rending  cry ; 

My  Saviour !  every  mournful  word 
Bespeaks  thy  soul's  deep  agony. 

2  A  horror  of  great  darkness  fell 
On  thee,  thou  spotless,  holy  One! 

And  all  the  swarming  hosts  of  hell 
Conspired  to  tempt  God's  only  Son. 

3  The  scourge,  the  thorns,  the  deep  disgrace. 
These  thou  couldst  bear,  nor  once  repine; 


78 


But  when  Jehovah  veiled  his  face, 
Unutterable  pangs  were  thine. 

4  Let  the  dumb  world  its  silence  break; 
Let  pealing  anthems  rend  the  sky; 

Awake,  my  sluggish  soul,  awake ! 
He  died,  that  we  might  never  die. 

5  Lord,  on  thy  cross  I  fix  mine  eye : 
If  e'er  I  lose  its  strong  control, 

0  let  that  dying,  piercing  ciy. 

Melt  and  reclaim  my  wandering  soul. 

J.  W.  Cunningham. 

(*  Wj  Atonement  made. 

1  'TiS  finished!  the  Messiah  dies, — 
Cut  off  for  sins,  but  not  his  own  ; 

Accomplished  is  the  sacrifice. 

The  great  redeeming  work  is  done. 

2  'Tis  finished  !  all  the  debt  is  paid ; 
Justice  divine  is  satisfied ; 

The  grand  and  full  atonement  made; 
Christ  for  a  guilty  world  hath  died. 

3  The  veil  is  rent ;  in  him  alone 
The  living  way  to  heaven  is  seen ; 

The  middle  wall  is  broken  down, 
And  all  mankind  may  enter  in. 

4  The  types   and  figures  are  fulfilled; 
Exacted  is  the  legal  pain  ; 

The  precious  promises  are  sealed ; 
The  spotless  Lamb  of  God  is  slain. 

5  Death,  hell,  and  sin  are  now  subdued; 
All  grace  is  now  to  sinners  given ; 

And,  lo !  I  plead  the  atoning  blood. 
And  in  thy  right  I  claim  my  heaven.

1  When  I  survey  the  wondrous  cross 
On  which  the  Prince  of  glory  died. 

My  richest  gain  I  count  but  loss, 
And  pour  contempt  on  all  my  pride. 

2  Forbid  it,  Lord,  that  I  should  boast, 
Save  in  the  death  of  Christ,  my  God; 

All  the  vain  things  that  charm  me  most, 
I  sacrifice  them  to  his  blood, 

3  See,  from  his  head,  his  hands,  his  feet. 
Sorrow  and  love  How  mingled  down : 

Did  e'er  such  love  and  sorrow  meet, 
Or  thorns  compose  so  rich  a  crown? 

4  Were  the  whole  realm  of  nature  mine. 
That  were  a  present  far  too  small ; 

Love  so  amazing,  so  divine. 

Demands  my  soul,  my  life,  my  all. 

Isaao  Watts. 

tiLii  Christ  cninfied. 

1  Extended  on  a  cursdd  tree. 

Covered  with  dust,  and  sweat,  and  blood, 
See  there,  the  King  of  glory  see! 
Sinks  and  expires  the  Son  of  God. 

2  Who,  who,  my  Saviour,  this  hath  done.-' 
Who  could  thy  sacred  body  wound.'' 

No  guilt  thy  spotless  heart  hath  known. 
No  guile  hath  in  thy  lips  been  found. 

3  L  I  alone  have  done  the  deed  ; 
'Tis  I  thy  sacred  flesh  have  torn  ; 

My  sins  have  caused  thee.  Lord,  to  blee.I, 
Pointed  the  nail,  and  tixed  the  thorn. 


•4  For  me  the  burden  to  sustain 

Too  great,  on  thee,  my  Lord,  was  laid : 

To  heal  me,  thou  hast  borne  my  pain ; 
To  bless  me,  thou  a  curse  wast  made. 

5  My  Saviour,  how-  shall  I  proclaim. 
How  pay  the  mighty  debt  I  owe  ? 

Let  all  I  have,  and  all  I  am, 

Ceaseless,  to  all,  thy  glory  show. 

6  Still  let  thy  tears,  thy  groans,  thy  sighs, 
O'erflow  my  eyes,  and  heave  my  breast, 

Till,  loosed  from  flesh  and  earth,  I  rise. 
And  ever  in  thy  bosom  rest. 

Paul  G'erhardt.    Tr.  by  J.  Wesley. 

«*!  O  Oazivff  on.  the  cross. 

1  Lord  Jesus,  when  we  stand  afar 
And  gaze  upon  thy  holy  cross. 

In  love  of  thee  and  scorn  of  self, 
O  may  we  count  the  world  as  loss. 

2  When  we  behold  thy  bleeding  wounds, 
And  the  rough  way  that  thou  hast  trod, 

Make  us  to  hate  the  load  of  sin 
That  lay  so  heavy  on  our  God. 

',\  O  holy  Lord  I  uplifted  high 

With  outstretched  arms,  in  mortal  woo. 
Embracing  in  thy  wondrous  love 

The  sinful  world  that  lies  below ! 

4  Give  us  an  ever-living  faith 

To  gaze  beyond  the  things  we  see; 

And  in  the  myster)'  of  thy  death 
Draw  us  and  all  men  after  thee  !

'H.4:        Godly  sorrow  at  the  ci'oss. 

1  Alas!  and  did  my  Saviour  bleed? 
And  did  my  Sovereign  die  ? 

Would  he  devote  that  sacred  head 
For  such  a  worm  as  I } 

2  Was  it  for  crimes  that  I  have  done. 
He  groaned  upon  the  tree? 

Amazing  pity!  grace  unknown ! 
And  love  beyond  degree  ! 

3  Well  might  the  sun  in  darkness  hide, 
And  shut  his  glories  in, 

When  Christ,  the  mighty  Maker,  died, 
For  man,  the  creature's  sin. 

4  Thus  might  I  hide  my  blushing  face 
While  his  dear  cross  appears  ; 

Dissolve  my  heart  in  thankfulness. 
And  melt  mine  eyes  to  tears. 

5  But  drops  of  grief  can  ne'er  repay 
The  debt  of  love  I  owe: 

Here,  Lord,  I  give  myself  away, — 
'Tis  all  that  I  can  do. 

Isaac  Watts. 

i4i.D  Jle  died  for  thee. 

1  Behold  the  Saviour  of  mankind 
Nailed  to  the  shameful  tree ; 

How  vast  the  love  that  him  inclined 
To  bleed  and  die  for  thee ! 

2  Hark !  how  he  groans,  while  nature  shakes. 
And  earth's  strong  pillars  bend : 

The  temple's  veil  in  sunder  breaks. 
The  solid  marbles  rend. 


80 


3  'Tis  done!  the  precious  ransom  's  paid! 
"  Receive  my  soul ! "  he  cries : 

See  where  he    bows  his  sacred  head ; 
He  bows  his  head,  and  dies. 

4  But  soon   he  '11  break    death's  envious 

chain, 
And  in  full  glory  shine : 

0  Lamb  of  God,  was  ever  pain. 
Was  ever  love,  like  thine  ? 

Samuel  Wesley. 

i*J-0         God  manifest  in  the  flesh. 

1  With  glorious  clouds  encompassed 

round, 
Whom  angels  dimly  see, 
Will  the  Unsearchable  be  found. 
Or  God  appear  to  me.'' 

2  Will  he  forsake  his  throne  above. 
Himself  to  worms  impart? 

Answer,  thou  Man  of  grief  and  love. 
And  speak  it  to  my  heart. 

3  In  manifested  love  explain 
Thy  wonderful  design ; 

What  meant,  thou  suffering  Son  of  man. 
Thy  streaming  blood  divine  ? 

4  Didst  thou  not  in  our  flesh  appear, 
And  live  and  die  below. 

That  I  might  now  perceive  thee  near. 
And  my  Redeemer  know? 

5  Might  view  the  Lamb  in  his  own  light, 
Whom  angels  dimly  see  ; 

And  gaze,  transported  at  the  sight. 
To  all  eternity? 

Charles  Wesley.

1  O  LOVE  divine,  what  hast  thou  done! 
The  incarnate  God  hath  died  for  me! 

The  Father's  co-eternal  Son, 

Bore  all  my  sins  upon  the  tree ! 
The  Son  of  God  for  me  hath  died: 
My  Lord,  my  Love,  is  crucified.

The  bleeding  Prince  of  life  and  peace ! 

Come,  sinners,  see  your  Saviour  die, 
And  say,  was  ever  grief  like  his? 
Come,  feel  with  me  his  blood  applied: 
My  Lord,  my  Love,  is  crucified :

To  bring  us  rebels  back  to  God : 
Believe,  believe  the  record  true. 

Ye  all  are  bought  with  Jesus'  blood : 
Pardon  for  all  flows  from  his  side : 
My  Lord,  my  Love,  is  crucified. 

4  Then  let  us  sit  beneath  his  cross, 
And  gladly  catch  the  healing  stream ; 

All  things  for  him  account  but  loss. 
And  give  up  all  our  hearts  to  him : 
Of  nothing  think  or  speak  beside, — 
My  Lord,  my  Love,  is  crucified.

1  Would  Jesus  have  the  sinner  die? 
Why  hangs  he  then  on  yonder  tree? 

What  means  that  strange  expiring  cry  ? 

Sinners,  he  prays  for  you  and  me; 
"Forgive  them.  Father,  O  forgive! 
They  know  not  that  by  me  they  live." 

2  Jesus,  descended  from  above. 
Our  loss  of  Eden  to  retrieve, 

Great  God  of  universal  love, 

If  all  the  world  through  thee  may  live, 
In  us  a  quickening  spirit  be, 
And  witness  thou  hast  died  for  •v.e. 

3  Thou  loving,  all-atoning  Lamb, 
Thee — by  thy  painful  agony. 

Thy  bloody  sweat,  thy  grief  and  shame, 

Thy  cross  and  passion  on  the  tree. 
Thy  precious  death  and  life — I  pray, 
Take  all,  take  all  my  sins  away. 

4  O  let  thy  love  my  heart  constrain ! 
Thy  love,  for  every  sinner  free. 

That  every  fallen  son  of  man 

May  taste  the  grace  that  found  out  me ; 

That  all  mankind  with  me  may  prove 

Thy  sovereign,  everlasting  love.

Death  and  sorrow,  earth's  dark  story, 
To  the  former  days  belonj^: 

All  around  the  clouds  are  breakinj^, 
Soon  the  storms  of  time  shall  cease, 

In  God's  likeness,  man  awaking, 
Knows  the  everlasting  peace. 

2  O  what  glory,  far  exceeding 
All  that  eye  has  yet  perceived ! 

Holiest  hearts  for  ages  pleading. 
Never  that  full  joy  conceived. 

God  has  promised,  Christ  prepares  it, 
There  on  high  our  welcome  waits; 

Every  humble  spirit  shares  it, 

Christ  has  passed  the  eternal  gates. 

3  Life  eternal !  heaven  rejoices, 
Jesus  lives  who  once  was  dead ; 

Jnin,  O  man,  the  deathless  voices. 
Child  of  God,  lift  up  thy  head! 

Patriarchs  from  the  distant  ages. 
Saints  all  longing  for  their  heaven, 

Prophets,  psalmists,  seers  and  sages, 
All  await  the  glory  given.

Crowd  on  faith  ;  what  joy  unknown.

Come  from  heaven  to  meet  their  King;

The  shining  angels  as  they  speed, 
Proclaim,  "  The  Lord  is  risen  indeed  !"

While  Roman  guards  kept  watch  and  ward ; 
Majestic  from  the  spoiled  tomb.

3  When  the  amazed  disciples  heard, 
Their  hearts  with  speechless  joy  were  stirred ; 


Their  Lord's  beloved  face  to  see. 
Eager  they  haste  to  Galilee. 

4  His  pierced  hands  to  them  he  shows. 
His  face  with  love's  own  radiance  glows; 
They  with  the  angels'  message  speed. 
And  shout,  "  The  Lord  is  risen  indeed!"

4i<S  i  The  King  of  glory. 

1  Our  Lord  is  risen  from  the  dead ; 
Our  Jesus  is  gone  up  on  high  ; 

The  powers  of  hell  are  captive  led, 
Dragged  to  the  portals  of  the  sky: 

There  his  triumphal  chariot  waits, 
And  angels  chant  the  solemn  lay: 

"  Lift  up  your  heads,  ye  heavenly  gates ; 
Ye  everlasting  doors,  give  way  ! 

2  "  Loose  all  your  bars  of  massy  light, 
And  wide  unfold  the  ethereal  scene  ; 

He  claims  these  mansions  as  his  right; 

Receive  the  King  of  glory  in  !" 
"  Who  is  the  King  of  glory  }     Who  ?" 

"  The  Lord,  that  all  our  foes  o'ercame  ; 
The  world,  sin,  death,  and  hell  o'erthrew  ; 

And  Jesus  is  the  Conqueror's  name." 

3  Lo,  his  triumphal  chariot  waits. 
And  angels  chant  the  solemn  lay: 

"  Lift  up  your  heads,  ye  heavenly  gates; 

Ye  everlasting  door?,  give  way!  " 
"  Who  is  the  King  of  glory?     Who?" 

"  The    Lord,  of  glorious  power    pos- 
sessed ; 
The  King  of  saints  and  angels  too  ; 

God  over  all,  forever  blest !"

My  beauty  are,  iny  glorious  dress  ; 
'Midst  flaming  worlds,  in  these  arrayed. 
With  joy  shall  I  lift  up  my  head.

For  who  aught  to  my  charge  shall  lay? 
Fully  absolved  through  these  I  am. 
From  sin  and  fear,  from  guilt  and  shame. 

3  The  holy,  meek,  unspotted  Lamb, 
Who  from  the  Father's  bosom  came, 
Who  died  for  me,  e'en  me  to  atone, 
Now  for  my  Lord  and  God  I  own. 

4  Lord,  I  believe  thy  precious  blood, 
Which,  at  the  mercy-seat  of  God, 
Forever  doth  for  sinners  plead. 

For  me,  e'en  for  my  soul,  was  shed. 

5  Lord,  I  believe  were  sinners  more 
Than  sands  upon  the  ocean  shore. 
Thou  hast  for  all  a  ransom  paid. 
For  ail  a  full  atonement  made.

3  Jesus,  my  heart's  desire  obtain ; 
My  earnest  suit  present,  and  gain: 
My  fullness  of  corruption  show  ; 
The  knowledge  of  myself  bestow. 

4  O  sovereign  Love,  to  thee  I  cry. 
Give  me  thyself,  or  else  I  die ! 

Save  me  from  death,  from  hell  set  free; 
Death,  hell,  are  but  the  want  of  thee.

1  O  Christ,  our  King,  Creator,  Lord, 
Saviour  of  all  who  trust  thy  word, 

To  them  who  seek  thee  ever  near. 
Now  to  our  praises  bend  thine  ear. 

2  In  thy  dear  cross  a  grace  is  found. 
It  flows  from  every  streaming  wound, 
Whose  power  our  inlired  sin  controls, 
Breaks  the  firm  bond  and  frees  our  souls. 

3  Thou  didst  create  the  stars  ot  night. 
Yet  thou  hast  veiled  in  flesh  thy  light ; 
Hast  deigned  a  mortal  form  to  wear, 
A  mortal's  painful  lot  to  bear. 

4  When  thou  didst  hang  upon  the  tree. 
The  ([uaking  earth  acknowledged  thee ; 
When  thou  didst  there  yield  up  thy  breath. 
The  world  grew  dark  as  shades  of  death.  • 

5  Now  in  the  Father's  gloiy  high. 
Great  Conqueror,  never  more  to  die, 
Us  by  thy  mighty  power  detVnd, 
And  reign  through  ages  withmit  end.

For  me  he  bore  the  shameful  cross, 
And  carried  all  my  grief. 

4  To  him  I  owe  my  life  and  breath. 
And  all  the  joys  I  have  ; 

He  makes  me  triumph  over  death. 
He  saves  me  from  the  grave.

Shows  me  the  glories  of  my  God, 
And  makes  my  joy  complete.

Such  proofs  of  love  divine, 

Had  I  a  thousand  hearts  to  give,

'4o4       Our  merciful  High  Priest. 

1  With  joy  we  meditate  the  grace 
Of  our  High  Priest  above; 

His  heart  is  made  of  tenderness, 
His  bowels  melt  with  love. 

2  Touched  with  a  sympathy  within, 
He  knows  our  feeble  frame ; 

He  knows  what  sore  temptations  mean, 
For  he  hath  felt  the  same. 

3  He,  in  the  days  of  feeble  flesh, 
Poured  out  strong  cries  and  tears, 

And  in  his  measure  feels  afresh 
What  every  member  bears. 

4  He  '11  never  quench  the  smoking  flax, 
But  raise  it  to  a  flame; 

The  bruised  reed  he  never  breaks. 
Nor  scorns  the  meanest  name. 

5  Then  let  our  humble  faith  address 
His  mercy  and  his  power; 

We  shall  obtain  delivering  grace 
In  every  trying  hour. 

Isaao  Watts. 

«*00  Christ,  cnir  guide. 

1  Jesus,  the  Lord  of  glory,  died, 
That  we  might  never  die ; 

And  now  he  reigns  supreme,  to  guide 
His  people  to  the  sky. 

2  Weak  though  we  are,  he  still  is  near. 
To  lead,  console,  defend; 

In  all  our  sorrow,  all  our  fear. 
Our  all-suflicient  Friend. 

3  From  his  hiy;h  throne  in  bliss  he  deigns 
Our  every  piayer  to  heed  ; 

Bears  with  our  folly,  sootiies  our  pains. 
Supplies  our  every  need.

4  And  from  his  love's  exhaustless  spring, 
Joys  like  a  river  come. 

To  make  the  desert  bloom  and  sing. 
O'er  which  we  travel  home. 

5  O  Jesus,  there  is  none  like  thee, 
Our  Saviour  and  our  Lord ; 

Through  earth  and  heaven  exalted  be. 
Beloved,  obeyed,  adored.

thorns. 
Is  crowned  with  glory  now;

The  mighty  Victor's  brow. 

2  The  highest  place  that  heaven  affords. 
Is  to  our  Jesus  given  ; 

The  King  of  kings,  and  Lord  of  lords. 
He  reigns  o'er  earth  and  heaven  : 

3  The  joy  of  all  who  dwell  above. 
The  joy  of  all  below. 

To  whom  he  manifests  his  love, 
And  grants  his  name  to  know. 

4  To  them  the  cross,  with  all  its  shame, 
With  all  its  grace,  is  given  ; 

Their  name,  an  everlasting  name. 
Their  joy,  the  joy  of  heaven. 

5  They  suffer  with  their  Lord  below. 
They  reign  with  him  above; 

Their  everlasting  joy  to  know 
The  mystery  of  his  love.

Though  returning  to  his  throne, 

Still  he  calls  mankind  his  own. 

5  See,  he  lifts  his  hands  above ! 
See,  he  shows  the  prints  of  love! 
Hark,  his  gracious  lips  bestow 
Blessings  on  his  Church  below!

High  above  yon  azure  height,

1  O  FOR  that  flame  of  living  tire, 
Which  shone  so  bright  in  saints  of  old  ! 

Which  bade  their  souls  to  heaven  aspire, 
Calm  in  distress,  in  danger  bold. 

2  Where  is  that  Spirit,  Lord,  which  dwelt 
In  Abrah'm's  breast,  and  sealed  him  thine  ? 

Which  made  Paul's  heart  with  sorrow  melt. 
And  glow  with  energy  divine? 

3  That  Spirit,  which  from  age  to  age 
Proclaimed  thy  love,  and  taught  thy  ways  ? 

Brightened  Isaiah's  vivid  page. 

And  breathed  in  David's  hallowed  layr,  } 

4  Is  not  thy  grace  as  mighty  now 
As  when  Elijah  felt  its  power; 

When  glory  beamed  from  Moses'  brow, 
Or  Job  endured  the  trying  hour?     ^ 

.'5  Remember,  Lord,  the  ancient  days ; 

Renew  thy  work ;  thy  grace  restore ; 
And  while  to  thee  our  hearts  we  raise. 

On  us  thy  Holy  Spirit  pour.

i  Come,  Holy  Spirit,  raise  our  songs 
To  reach  the  wonders  of  that  day. 

When,  with  thy  fiery  cloven  tongues 
Thou  didst  such  glorious  scenes  display. 

3  Lord,  we  believe  to  us  and  ours. 

The  apostolic  promise  given  ; 
We  wait  the  pentecostal  powers.

Calmly  we  wait  the  promised  grace. 

The  purchase  of  our  dying  Lord  ; 
Come,  Holy  Ghost,  and  fill  the  place. 

4  If  ever)'  one  that  asks,  may  find, 
If  still  thou  dost  on  sinners  fall. 

Come  as  a  mighty  rushing  wind  ; 
Great  grace  be  now  upon  us  all. 

5  O  leave  us  not  to  mourn  below. 
Or  long  for  thy  return  to  pine; 

Now,  Lord,  the  Comforter  bestow. 
And  fix  in  us  the  Guest  divine.

1  O  Spirit  of  the  living  God, 
In  all  thy  plenitude  of  grace, 

Where'er  the  foot  of  man  hath  trod. 
Descend  on  our  apostate  race. 

2  Give  tongues  of  fire  and  hearts  of  love. 
To  preach  the  reconciling  word  ; 

Give  power  and  unction  from  above, 
Where'er  the  joyful  sound  is  heard. 

3  I3e  darkness,  at  thy  coming,  light ; 
Confusion — order,  in  thy  path; 

Souls  without  strength,  inspire  with  might 
Bid  mercy  triumph  over  wrath. 

4  Baptize  the  nations  ;  far  and  nigh 
The  triumphs  of  the  cross  record  ; 

The  name  of  Jesus  glorify. 

Till  every  kindred  call  him  Lord.

Fond  of  these  earthly  toys  ; 

Our  souls,  hovk'  heavily  they  go. 
To  reach  eternal  joys.

In  vain  we  strive  to  rise ; 

Hosannas  languish  on  our  tongues. 
And  our  devotion  dies. 

4  Father,  and  shall  we  ever  live 
At  this  poor  dying  rate, 

Our  love  so  faint,  so  cold  to  thee, 
And  thine  to  us  so  great  ?

And  lead  us  in  those  paths  of  life 
Where  all  the  righteous  go.

Let  our  whole  soul  an  offering  be 
To  our  Redeemer's  name,

With  Pentecostal  grace ; 

And  make  the  great  salvation  known

The  prophets  wrote  and  spoke, 

Unlock  the  truth,  thyself  the  key; 
Unseal  the  sacred  book.

On  our  disordered  spirits  move. 
And  let  there  now  be  light.

If  thou  within  us  shine  ; 

And  sound,  with  all  thy  saints  below.

His  tender,  last  farewell, 

A  Guide,  a  Comforter,  bequeathed, 
With  us  on  earth  to  dwell. 

2  He  came  in  tongues  of  living  flame, 
To  teach,  convince,  subdue; 

All-powerful  as  the  wind  he  came, 
And  all  as  viewless,  too. 

3  He  came,  sweet  influence  to  impart, 
A  gracious,  willing  Guest, 

While  he  can  find  one  humble  heart 
Wherein  to  fix  his  rest. 

4  And  his  that  gentle  voice  we  hear, 
Soft  as  the  breath  of  even, 

That  checks  each  fault,  calms  every  fear, 
And  whispers  us  of  heaven. 

5  And  every  virtue  we  possess. 
And  every  \irtue  won. 

And  every  thought  of  holiness 
Is  his,  and  his  alone.

It  bids  confusion  cease, 

And  changes  envy,  hatred,  strife, 
To  love,  and  joy,  and  peace. 

3  Then  let  our  hearts  obey

And  all  its  fruits,  from  day  to  day,

The  true,  immortal  seed  ; 

Thy  gospel  then  shall  greatly  grow. 
And  all  our  land  o'erspread; 

Through  earth  extended  wide 
Shall  mightily  prevail, 

Destroy  the  works  of  self  and  pride, 
And  shake  the  gates  of  hell. 

2  Its  energy  exert 

In  the  believing  soul; 
Diffuse  thy  grace  through  every  part, 

And  sanctify  the  whole ; 
Its  utmost  virtue  show 

In  pure  consummate  love. 
And  fill  with  all  thy  life  below. 

And  give  us  thrones  above.

1  Upon  the  Gospel's  sacred  page 
The  gathered  beams  of  ages  shine ; 

And,  as  it  hastens,  every  age 

But  makes  its  brightness  more  divine. 

2  On  mightier  wing,  in  loftier  flight. 
From  year  to  year  does  knowledge  soar ; 


And,  as  it  soars,  the  Gospel  light 
Becomes  effulgent  more  and  more. 

3  More  glorious  still,  as  centuries  roll, 
New  regions  blest,  new  powers  unturled, 

Expanding  with  the  expanding  soul. 
Its  radiance  shall  o'erflow  the  world, — 

4  Flow  to  restore,  but  not  destroy ; 
As  when  the  cloudless  lamp  of  day 

Pours  out  its  floods  of  light  and  joy. 
And  sweeps  the  lingering  mists  away.

4  Rising  to  sing  my  Saviour's  praise. 
Thee  may  I  publish  all  day  long ; 

And  let  thy  precious  word  of  grace 

Flow  from  my  heart,  and  fill  my  tongue : 
Fill  all  my  life  v/ith  purest  love. 
And  join  me  to  the  Church  above.

In  every  star  thy  wisdom  shines ; 

But  when  our  eyes  behold  thy  word. 
We  read  thy  name  in  fairer  lines. 

2  The  rolling  sun,  the  changing  light, 
And  nights  and  days,  thy  power  confess, 

But  the  blest  volume  thou  hast  writ. 
Reveals  thy  justice  and  thy  grace. 

3  Sun,  moon,  and  stars,  convey  thy  praise 
Round  the  whole  earth,  and  never  stand  : 

So  when  thy  truth  began  its  race, 

It  touched  and  glanced  on  every  land. 

4  Nor  shall  thy  spreading  gospel  rest, 

Till  through  the  world  thy  truth  has  ruri  : 
Till  Christ  has  all  the  nations  blessed 
That  see  the  light,  or  feel  the  sun. 

5  Great  Sun  of  righteousness,  arise, 

Bless  the  dark  world  with  heavenly  light; 
Thy  gospel  makes  the  simple  wise. 

Thy  laws  are  pure,  thy  judgments  right. 

(i  Thy  noblest  wonders  here  we  view. 
In  souls  renewed,  and  sins  forgiven : 

Lord,  cleanse  my  sins,  my  soul  renew. 
And  make  thy  word  my  guide  to  hea\en.

And  deepest  silence  hush  on  high 
The  radiant  chorus  of  the  sky; 

4  But,  fixed  for  everlasting  years, 
Unmoved  amid  the  wreck  of  spheres. 
Thy  word  shall  shine  in  cloudless  day. 
When    heaven   and   earth   have   passed

-^1/4:    The  Saviour  seen  in  the  Scriptures. 

1  Now  let  my  soul,  eternal  King, 
To  thee  its  grateful  tribute  bring ; 
My  knee  with  humble  homage  bow  ; 
My  tongue  perform  its  solemn  vow. 

2  All  nature  sings  thy  boundless  love, 
In  worlds  below  and  worlds  above; 
But  in  thy  blessed  word  I  trace 
Diviner  wonders  of  thy  grace. 

3  There,  what  delightful  truths  I  read ! 
There,  I  behold  the  Saviour  bleed  : 
His  name  salutes  my  listening  ear. 
Revives  my  heart  and  checks  my  fear. 

4  There  Jesus  bids  my  sorrows  cease. 
And  gives  my  laboring  conscience  peace; 
He  lifts  my  grateful  thoughts  on  high, 
And  points  to  mansions  in  the  sky. 

5  For  love  like  this,  O  let  my  song. 
Through  endless  years,  thy  praise  prolong ; 
Let  distant  climes  thy  name  adore. 

Till  time  and  nature  are  no  more.

Directs  our  doubtful  feet ; 

Here  promises  of  heavenly  love

And  all  our  wants  supplied : 

Naught  we  can  ask  to  make  us  blest 
Is  in  this  book  denied.

It  gives,  but  borrows  none.

The  gracious  light  and  heat ; 

Its  truths  upon  the  nations  rise : 
They  rise,  but  never  set.

For  such  a  bright  display. 

As  makes  a  world  of  darkness  shine 
With  beams  of  heavenly  day.

The  steps  of  him  I  love. 
Till  glory  breaks  upon  my  view 

In  brighter  worlds  above.

By  inspiration  given ! 

Bright  as  a  lamp  its  doctrines  shine. 
To  guide  our  souls  to  heaven. 

2  It  sweetly  cheers  our  drooping  hearts, 
In  this  dark  vale  of  tears ; 

Life,  light,  and  joy  it  still  imparts. 
And  quells  our  rising  fears. 

3  This  lamp,  through  all  the  tedious  night 
Of  life,  shall  guide  our  way; 

Till  we  behold  the  clearer  light 
Of  an  eternal  day.

And  bid  the  admiring  world  adore

What  endless  glory  shines! 

Forever  be  thy  name  adored 
For  these  celestial  lines. 

2  Here  may  the  wretched  sons  of  want 
Exhaustless  riches  find; 

Riches  above  what  earth  can  grant, 
And  lasting  as  the  mind. 

3  Here  the  fair  tree  of  knowledge  grows, 
And  yields  a  free  repast ; 

Sublimer  sweets  than  nature  knows 
Invite  the  longing  taste. 

4  Here  the  Redeemer's  welcome  voice 
Spreads  heavenly  peace  around  ; 

And  life  and  everlasting  joys 
Attend  the  blissful  sound. 

5  O  may  these  heavenly -pages  be 
Our  ever  dear  delight; 

And  still  new  beauties  may  we  .see, 
And  still  increasing  light. 

()  Divine  Instructor,  gracious  Lord, 

Be  thou  forever  near; 
Teach  us  to  love  thy  sacred  word, 

And  view  the  Saviour  there.

1  How  sad  our  state  by  nature  is ! 
Our  sin,  how  deep  it  stains! 

And  Satan  binds  our  captive  souls 
Fast  in  his  slavish  chains. 

2  But  there  's  a  voice  of  sovereign  grace 
Sounds  from  the  sacred  word : 

"  Ho  !  ye  despairing  sinners,  come. 
And  trust  a  faithful  Lord." 

3  My  soul  obeys  the  gracious  call. 
And  runs  to  this  relief; 

I  would  believe  thy  promise.  Lord ; 
O  help  my  unbelief ! 

4  To  the  blest  fountain  of  thy  blood. 
Incarnate  God,  I  fly; 

Here  let  me  wash  my  guilty  soul 
From  crimes  of  deepest  dye. 

5  A  guilty,  weak,  and  helpless  wonn, 
Into  thine  arms  I  fall; 

Be  thou  my  strength  and  righteousness, 
My  Jesus,  and  my  all. 

Isaac  ■Watts. 

oU«5       Without  Ood  in  the  world. 

1  God  is  in  this  and  every  place; 
But  O,  how  dark  and  void 

To  me  ! — 'tis  one  great  wilderness, 
This  earth  without  my  God. 

2  Empty  of  him  who  all  things  fills, 
Till  he  his  light  impart. 

Till  he  his  glorious  self  reveals, 
The  veil  is  on  my  heart. 


3  O  Thou  who  seest  and  know'st  my  grief. 
Thyself  unseen,  unknown. 

Pity  my  helpless  unbelief. 

And  break  my  heart  of  stone. 

4  Regard  me  with  a  gracious  eye; 
The  long-sought  blessing  give ; 

And  bid  me,  at  the  point  to  die, 
Behold  thy  face  and  live. 

Charles  Wesley. 

t)U4  His  pitying  love. 

1  Plunged  in  a  gulf  of  dark  despair. 
We  wretched  sinners  lay. 

Without  one  cheering  beam  of  hope, 
Or  spark  of  glimmering  day. 

2  With  pitying  eyes  the  Prince  of  grace 
Beheld  our  helpless  grief: 

He  saw,  and,  O  amazing  love! 
He  ran  to  our  relief. 

3  Down  from  the  shining  seats  above, 
With  joyful  haste  he  sped, 

Entered  the  grave  in  mortal  flesh. 
And  dwelt  among  the  dead. 

4  O  for  this  love  let  rocks  and  hills 
Their  lasting  silence  break ; 

And  all  harmonious  human  tongues. 
The  Saviour's  praises  speak. 

5  Angels,  assist  our  mighty  joys  ; 
Strike  all  your  harps  of  gold ; 

But  when  you  raise  your  highest  notes. 
His  love  can  ne'er  be  told.

No  outward  forms  can  make  us  clean ; 
The  leprosy  lies  deep  within.

Nor  hyssop  branch,  nor  sprinkling  priest. 
Nor  running  brook,  nor  flood,  nor  sea, 
Can  ^^■ash  the  dismal  stain  away. 

5  Jesus,  thy  blood,  thy  blood  alone, 
Hath  pow'cr  sufficient  to  atone ; 

Thy  blood  can  make  us  white  as  sno.v; 
No  Jewish  types  could  cleanse  us  so. 

6  While   guilt  disturbs  and  breaks  our 

peace. 
Nor  flesh  nor  soul  hath  rest  or  case;

Whence  hope  and  comfort  flow! 

Jesus,  no  other  name  than  thine 
Can  save  from  endless  woe. 

2  None  else  will  Heaven  approve : 
Thou  art  the  only  way, 

Ordained  by  everlasting  love. 
To  realms  of  endless  day. 

3  Here  let  our  feet  abide. 
Nor  from  thy  path  depart : 

Direct  our  steps,  thou  gracious  Guide ! 
And  cheer  the  fainting  heart. 

4  Safe  through  this  world  of  night. 
Lead  to  the  blissful  plains, 

The  regions  of  unclouded  light. 
Where  joy  forever  reigns.

«JJ.4  The  precious  blood. 

1  God's  holy  law  transgressed. 
Speaks  nothing  but  despair; 

Convinced  of  guilt,  with  grief  oppressed, 
We  find  no  comfort  there. 

2  Not  all  our  groans  and  tears, 
Nor  works  which  we  have  done. 

Nor  vows,  nor  promises,  nor  prayers. 
Can  e'er  for  sin  atone. 

3  Relief  alone  is  found 

In  Jesus'  precious  blood: 
'Tis  this  that  heals  the  mortal  wound. 
And  reconciles  to  God. 

4  High  lifted  on  the  cross 
The  spotless  Victim  dies  ; 

This  is  salvation's  only  source; 
Hence  all  our  hopes  arise. 

Benjamin  3eddome.

«iXD  The  dearest  name. 

1  How  sweet  the  name  of  Jesus  sounds 
In  a  believer's  ear  ! 

It  soothes  his  sorrows,  heals  his  wounds, 
And  drives  away  his  fear. 

2  It  makes  the  wounded  spirit  whole, 
And  calms  the  troubled  breast ; 

'Tis  manna  to  the  hungry  soul, 
And  to  the  weary,  rest. 

3  Dear  name!  the  rock  on  which  I  build. 
My  shield  and  hiding-place  ; 

My  never- failing  treasure,  filled 
With  boundless  stores  of  grace! 

4  Jesus,  my  Shepherd,  Saviour,  Friend, 
My  Prophet,  Priest,  and  King, 

My  Lord,  my  Life,  my  Way,  my  End, 
Accept  the  praise  I  bring ! 

5  I  would  thy  boundless  love  proclaim 
With  every  fleeting  breath; 

So  shall  the  music  of  thy  name 
Refresh  my  soul  in  death. 

John  Newton. 

«J  1  /  Ceaseless  goodness. 

1  Thy  ceaseless,  unexhausted  love, 
Unmerited  and  free. 

Delights  our  evil  to  remove, 
And  help  our  miseiy. 

2  Tho-u  waitest  to  be  gracious  still ; 
Thou  dost  with  sinners  bear; 

That,  saved,  we  may  thy  goodness  feel. 
And  all  thy  grace  declare. 

3  Thy  goodness  and  thy  truth  to  me. 
To  every  soul,  abound  ; 


116 


A  vast,  unfathomable  sea. 

Where  all  our  thoughts  are  drowned. 

4  Its  streams  the  whole  creation  reach. 
So  plenteous  is  the  store  ; 

Enough  for  all,  enough  for  each, 
Enough  for  evermore. 

5  Faithful,  O  Lord,  thy  mercies  are, 
A  rock  that  cannot  move : 

A  thousand  promises  declare 
Thy  constancy  of  love. 

6  Throughout  the  universe  it  reigns. 
Unalterably  sure; 

And  while  the  truth  of  God  remains, 
His  goodness  must  endure.

P>om  sin  and  death  we  flee ; 

And  he  who  would  the  Father  seek, 
Must  seek  him.  Lord,  by  thee. 

2  Thou  art  the  Truth: — thy  word  alone 
True  wisdom  can  impart ; 

Thou  only  canst  inform  the  mind, 
And  purify  the  heart. 

3  Thou  art  the  Life : — the  rending  tomb 
Proclaims  thy  conquering  arm  ; 

And  those  who  put  their  trust  in  thee 
Nor  death  nor  hell  shall  harm. 

4  Thou  art  the  Way,  the  Truth,  the  Life ; 
Grant  us  that  Way  to  know, 

That  Truth  to  keep,  that  Life  to  win. 
Whose  joys  eternal  flow.

Over  some  foul,  dark  spot. 

One  only  stream,  a  stream  of  blood, 
Can  wash  away  the  blot. 

4  'Tis  Jesus'  blood  that  washes  white, 
His  hand  that  brings  relief; 

His  heart  that's  touched  with  all  our  joys. 
And  feeleth  for  our  grief. 

5  Lift  up  thy  bleeding  hand,  O  Lord  ! 
Unseal  that  cleansing  tide  : 

We  have  no  shelter  from  our  sin 
But  in  thy  wounded  side.

To  save  rebellious  man  ;

Which  drew  the  wondrous  plan.

0«JX  The  year  of  jubilee. 

2  Jesus,  our  great  High  Priest, 
Hath  full  atonement  made : 

Ye  weary  spirits,  rest ; 

Ye  mournful  souls,  be  glad: 
The  year  of  jubilee  is  come! 
Return,  ye  ransomed  sinners,  home. 

3  Extol  the  Lamb  of  God, 
The  all-atoning  Lamb ; 

Redemption  in  his  blood 
■Throughout  the  world  proclaim.: 
The  year  of  jubilee  is  come! 
Return,  ye  ransomed  sinners,  home. 

4  Ye  slaves  of  sin  and  hell. 
Your  liberty  receive. 

And  safe  in  Jesus  dwell. 
And  blest  in  Jesus  live  : 
The  year  of  jubilee  is  come ! 
Return,  ye  ransomed  sinners,  home. 

5  Ye  who  have  sold  for  naught 
Your  heritage  above. 

Shall  have  it  back  unbought. 
The  gift  of  Jesus'  love : 
The  year  of  jubilee  is  come! 
Return,  ye  ransomed  sinners,  home. 

6  The  gospel  trumpet  hear, 
The  news  of  heavenly  grace ; 

And,  saved  from  earth,  appear 
Before  your  Saviour's  face : 
The  year  of  jubilee  is  come! 
Return,  ye  ransomed  sinners,  home. 

Charles  Wesley. 
*jO^     Jesus,  the  all-atoning  Lamb. 
1  Let  earth  and  heaven  agree. 
Angels  and  men  be  joined, 


122 


To  celebrate  with  me 
The  Saviour  of  mankind  : 
To  adore  the  all-atoning  Lamb, 
And  bless  the  sound  of  Jesus'  name. 

2  Jesus  !  transporting  sound  ! 
The  joy  of  earth  and  heaven  ; 

No  other  help  is  found. 
No  other  name  is  given. 
By  which  we  can  salvation  have ; 
But  Jesus  came  the  world  to  save. 

3  Jesus!  harmonious  name! 
It  charms  the  hosts  above; 

They  evermore  proclaim 
And  wonder  at   his  love: 
'Tis  all  their  happiness  to  gaze, — 
'Tis  heaven  to  see  our  Jesus'  face. 

4  His  name  the  sinner  hears. 
And  is  from  sin  set  free ; 

'Tis  music  in  his  ears; 
'Tis  hfe  and  victory; 
New  songs  do  now  his  lips  employ. 
And  dances  his  glad  heart  for  joy. 

5  O  unexampled  love ! 

O  all-redeeming  grace! 
Hov,'  swiftly  didst  thou  move 

To  save  a  fallen  race ! 
What  shall  I  do  to  make  it  known. 
What  thou  for  all  mankind  hast  done  ? 

6  O  for  a  trumpet  voice, 
On  all  the  world  to  call. 

To  bid  their  hearts  rejoice 
In  him  who  died  for  all ! 
For  all  my  Lord  was  crucified ; 
For  all,  for  all,  my  Saviour  died. 

Charles  Wesley.

OejttJ  He  died  for  me. 

1  When  time  seems  short  and  death  is  near, 

And  I  am  pressed  by  doubt  and  fear, 

And  sins,  an  overflowing  tide, 

Assail  my  peace  on  every  side, 

This  thought  my  refuge  still  shall  be, 

1  know  the  Saviour  died  for  me. 

2  His  name  is  Jesus,  and  he  died. 
For  guilty  sinners  crucified ; 


Content  to  die  that  he  might  win 
Their  ransom  from  the  death  of  sin: 
No  sinner  v^^orse  than  I  can  be, 
Therefore  I  know  he  died  for  me. 
3  If  grace  were  bought,  I  could  not  buy; 
If  grace  were  coined,  no  wealth  have  I ; 
By  grace  alone  I  draw  my  breath. 
Held  up  from  everlasting  death ; 
Yet,  since  I  know  his  grace  is  free, 
I  know  the  Saviour  died  for  me. 

George  "W.  Betlmne.

1  Come,  thou  long-expected  Jesus, 
Born  to  set  thy  people  free : 

From  our  fears  and  sins  release  us, 
Let  us  find  our  rest  in  thee.

Rule  in  all  our  hearts  alone; 

By  thine  all-sufficient  merit. 
Raise  us  to  thy  glorious  throne.

00<L>  Turn  ye. 

2  And  now  Christ  is  ready  your  souls  to 

receive, 

0  how  can  you  question,  if  you  will  believe  ? 
If  sin  is   your   burden,  why  will    you   not 

come? 
'Tis  you  he  bids  welcome  ;  he  bids  you  come 
home. 

3  In  riches,  in  pleasures,  what  can  you  obtain. 
To   soothe  your  affliction,  or  banish  your 

pain  ? 
To  bear  up  your  spirit  when  summoned  to  die, 
Or  waft  you  to  mansions  of  glory  on  high  ? 

4  Why  will  you  be  starving,  and  feeding  on 

air  ? 
There 's   mercy   in   Jesus,  enough    and    to 

spare ; 
If  still  you  are  doubting,  make  trial  and  see, 
And  prove  that  his  mercy  is  boundless  and 

free. 

Josiah  Hopliins. 
OOD  Delay  not. 

1  Delay  not,  delay  not,    O    sinner,   draw 

near. 
The  waters  of  life  are  now  flowing  for 

thee; 
No  price  is  demanded,  the  Saviour  is  here. 
Redemption  is  purchased,  salvation  is  free. 


2  Delay  not,  delay  not,  why  longer  abuse 
The  love  and  compassion  of  Jesus,  thy 

God? 
A  fountain  is  open,  how  canst  thou  refuse  ■ 
To  wash  and  be  cleansed  in  his  pardon- 
ing blood? 

3  Delay  not,  delay  not,  O  sinner,  to  come. 
For  Mercy  still  lingers  and  calls  thee  to- 
day: 

Her  voice  is  not  heard  in  the  vale  of  the 
tomb ; 
Her  message,   unheeded,  will  soon  pass 
away. 

4  Delay  not,  delay  not,  the  Spirit  of  grace 
Long  grieved  and  resisted,  may  take  his 

sad  flight. 
And,  leave  thee  in  darkness  to  finish  thy 
race, 
To  sink  in  the  gloom  of  eternity's  night. 


5  Delay  not,  delay  not,  the  hour  is  at  hand. 
The  earth  shall  dissolve,  and  the  heavens 
shall  fade. 
The  dead,  small  and  great,  in  the  judgment 
shall  stand ; 
What  power  then,  O  sinner,  will  lend  thee 
its  aid ! 

Thomas  Hastings.

2  Find  in  Christ  the  way  of  peace. 
Peace  unspeakable,  unknown; 

By  his  pain  he  gives  you  ease, 
Life  by  his  expiring  groan : 
Rise  exalted  by  his  fall ; 
Find  in  Christ  your  all  in  all. 

3  O  believe  the  record  true, 

God  to  you  his  Son  hath  given  ; 
Ye  may  now  be  happy  too. 

Find  on  earth  the  life  of  heaven : 
Live  the  life  of  heaven  above. 
All  the  life  of  glorious  love. 

4  This  the  universal  bliss, 
Bliss  for  every  soul  designed ; 

God's  original  promise  this, 

God's  great  gift  to  all  mankind: 
Blest  in  Christ  this  moment  be, 
Blest  to  all  eternity.

Where  the  Saviour  deigns  to  die, 
What  melodious  sounds  we  hear 
Bursting  on  the  ravished  ear! 

"  Love's  redeeming  work  is  done. 
Come  and  welcome,  sinner,  come!

Why  beneath  thy  burdens  groan  ?

On  his  pierced  body  laid, 
Justice  owns  the  ransom  paid ; 
Bow  the  knee,  embrace  the  Son, 
Come  and  welcome,  sinner,  come ! 
3  "  Spread  for  thee,  the  festal  board 
See  with  richest  bounty  stored  ; 
To  thy  Father's  bosom  pressed, 
Thou  shall  be  a  child  confessed, 
Never  from  his  house  to  roam  ; 
Come  and  welcome,  sinner,  com.e  !  " 

Thomas  Haweis. 

tJOo/  The  work  of  sin. 

1  Hearts  of  stone,  relent,  relent ! 
Break,  by  Jesus'  cross  subdued  ; 

See  his  body  mangled,  rent, 

Covered  with  his  flowing  blood  ! 
Sinful  soul,  what  hast  thou  done? 
Crucified  the  Eternal  Son  ! 

2  Yes,  thy  sins  have  done  the  deed. 
Driven  the  nails  that  fixed  him  there, 

Crowned  with  thorns  his  sacred  head, 

Pierced  him  with  a  soldier's  spear. 
Made  his  soul  a  sacrifice ; 
For  a  sinful  world  he  dies. 

3  Wilt  thou  let  him  die  in  vain  ? 
Still  to  death  pursue  our  God? 

Open  all  his  wounds  again? 

Trainple  on  his  precious  blood? 
No  ;  with  all  my  sins  I  '11  part ; 
Saviour,  take  my  broken  heart.

o4'u'  Invitation  hymn. 

1  Come,  ye  sinners,  poor  and  needy, 
Weak  and  wounded,  sick  and  sore; 

Jesus  ready  stands  to  save  you. 
Full  of  pity,  love,  and  power: 

He  is  able. 
He  is  willing :  doubt  no  more. 

2  Now,  ye  needy,  come  and  welcome ; 
God's  free  bounty  glorify; 

True  belief  and  true  repentance. 
Every  grace  that  brings  you  nigh. 

Without  money. 
Come  to  Jesus  Christ  and  buy. 

3  Let  not  conscience  make  you  linger. 
Nor  of  fitness  fondly  dream  ; 

All  the  fitness  he  requireth 
Is  to  feel  your  need  of  him  : 

This  he  gives  you ; 
'Tis  the  Spirit's  glimmering  beam. 

4  Come,  ye  weary,  heavy-laden, 
Bruised  and  mangled  by  the  fall; 


If  you  tarry  till  you're  better, 
You  will  never  come  at  all ; 

Not  the  righteous,— 
Sinners  Jesus  came  to  call. 

5  Agonizing  in  the  garden. 
Your  Redeemer  prostrate  lies ; 

On  the  bloody  tree  behold  him ! 
Hear  him  cry,  before  he  dies, 

"  It  is  finished  !" 
Sinners,  will  not  this  suffice? 

6  Lo !  the  incarnate  God,  ascending, 
Pleads  the  merit  of  his  blood: 

Venture  on  him,  venture  freely; 
Let  no  other  trust  intrude : 

None  but  Jesus 
Can  do  helpless  sinners  good. 

7  Saints  and  angels,  joined  in  concert, 
Sing  the  praises  of  the  Lamb; 

While  the  blissful  seats  of  heaven 
Sweetly  echo  with  his  name : 

Hallelujah! 
Sinners  here  may  do  the  same. 

Joseph  Hart.

Free  forgiveness  in  his  name:" 

How  important! 
"  Free  forgiveness  in  his  name."

Waiting  spirits,  speed  your  way ; 

Haste  ye  to  the  court  of  heaven,

Now  with  sweetest  voice  she  calls  ; 

Bids  you  haste  to  seek  the  Saviour, 
Ere  the  hand  of  justice  falls; 

Hear,  O  sinner! 
'Tis  the  voice  of  mercy  calls. 

2  Haste,  O  sinner,  to  the  Saviour ! 
Seek  his  mercy  while  you  may ; 

Soon  the  day  of  grace  is  over; 
Soon  your  life  will  pass  away: 

Haste,  O  sinner! 
You  must  perish  if  you  stay.

346  At  Zion's  gate. 

1  Pilgrim,  burdened  wich  thy  sin, 
Come  the  way  to  Zion's  gate: 

There,  till  mercy  lets  thee  in. 

Knock,  and  weep,  and  watch,  and  .wait. 
Knock — He  knows  the  sinner's  cry; 

Weep — he  loves  the  mourner's  tears ; 
Watch,  for  saving  grace  is  nigh  ; 

Wait,  till  heavenly  light  appears. 

2  Hark,  it  is  the  Bridegroom's  voice: 
"Welcome,  pilgrim,  to  thy  rest !" 

Now  within  the  gate  rejoice. 

Safe, and  sealed,  and  bought,  and  blest: 
Safe,  from  all  the  lures  of  vice ; 

Sealed,  by  signs  the  chosen  know; 
Bought  by  love,  and  life  the  price  ; 

Blest,  the  mighty  debt  to  owe. 

3  Holy  pilgrim,  what  for  thee 
In  a  world  like  this  remain  ? 

From  thy  guarded  breast  shall  flee 
Fear,  and  shame,  and  doubt,  and  pain ; 

Fear,  the  hope  of  heaven  shall  fly; 
Shame,  from  glory's  view  retire; 

Doubt,  in  certain  rapture  die  ; 
Pain,  in  endless  bhss  expire.

1  Say,  sinner,  hath  a  voice  within 
Oft  whispered  to  thy  secret  soul, 

Urged  thee  to  leave  the  ways  of  sin. 
And  yield  thy  heart  to  God's  control? 

2  Sinner,  it  was  a  heavenly  voice, 
It  was  the  Spirit's  gracious  call ; 

It  bade  thee  make  the  better  choice. 
And  haste  to  seek  in  Christ  thine  all. 


131 


3  Spurn  not  the  call  to  life  and  light ; 
Regard  in  time  the  warning  kind  ; 

That  call  thou  mayst  not  always  slight. 
And  yet  the  gate  of  mercy  find. 

4  God's  Spirit  will  not  always  strive 
With  hardened,  self-destroying  man ; 

Ye,  who  persist  his  love  to  grieve, 
May  never  hear  his  voice  again. 

5  Sinner,  perhaps  this  very  day 
Thy  last  accepted  time  may  be; 

0  shouldst  thou  grieve  him  now  away, 
Then  hope  may  never  beam  on  thee.

And  many  a  shining  hour  is  gone ; 
The  storm  is  gathering  in  the  west. 
And  thou  art  far  from  home  and  rest. 

2  O  far  from  home  thy  footsteps  stray ; 
Christ  is  the  Life,  and  Christ  the  Way, 
And  Christ  the  Light ;  thy  setting  sun 
Sinks  ere  thy  morning  is  begun. 

3  The  rising  tempest  sweeps  the  sky ; 
The  rains  descend,  the  winds  are  high; 
The  waters  swell,  and  death  and  fear 
Beset  thy  path,  nor  refuge  near. 

4  Then  linger  not  in  all  the  plain. 
Flee  for  thy  life,  the  mountain  gain ; 
Look  not  behind,  make  no  delay, 

O  speed  thee,  speed  thee  on  thy  way.

And  mock  the  sons  of  God.''

Hath  made  us  priests  and  kings.

Of  wisdom,  grace,  and  power; 
And  always  sorrowful  we  live, 

Rejoicing  evermore.

And  keep  in  all  our  ways. 

And  in  their  watchful  hands  they  bear 

The  sacred  sons  of  grace:

They  all  our  steps  attend ; 
And  God  himself  our  Father  is.

There  is  a  life  above, 

Unmeasured  by  the  flight  of  years  ; 
And  all  that  life  is  love.

3  When  against  sin  I  strive  in  vain. 
And  cannot  from  its  yoke  get  free. 

Sinking  beneath  the  heavy  chain. 

The  words  arrest  me,  "  Come  to  me !  " 


4  When  nature  shudders,  loath  to  part 
From  all  I  love,  enjoy,  and  see ; 

When  a  faint  chill  steals  o'er  my  heart, 
A  sweet  voice  utters,  "  Come  to  me  ! 

5  "  Come,  for  all  else  must  fail  and  die ; 
Earth  is  no  resting-place  for  thee ; 

Heavenward  direct  thy  weeping  eye ; 
I  am  thy  portion ;  come  to  me !  "

The  gospel  feast.

1  Come,  sinners,  to  the  gospel  feast ; 
Let  every  soul  be  Jesus'  guest : 

Ye  need  not  one  be  left  behind, 
For  God  hath  bidden  all  mankind. 

2  Sent  by  my  Lord,  on  you  I  call ; 
The  invitation  is  to  all : 

Come  all  the  world  !  come,  sinner,  thou  ! 
All  things  in  Christ  are  ready  now. 

3  Come,  all  ye  souls  by  sin  oppressed. 
Ye  restless  wanderers  after  rest ; 

Ye  poor,  and  maimed,  and  halt,  and  blind,- 
In  Christ  a  hearty  welcome  find. 

4  My  message  as  from  God  receive ; 
Ye  all  may  come  to  Christ  and  live  : 
O  let  his  love  your  hearts  constrain. 
Nor  suffer  him  to  die  in  vain. 

5  See  him  set  forth  before  your  eyes. 
That  precious,  bleeding  sacrifice : 
His  offered  benefits  embrace. 

And  freely  nov/  be  saved  by  grace. 

Charles  Wesley.

tjOO       Sin  kills  heyond  the  tomb. 

1  Vain  man,  thy  fond  pursuits  forbear; 
Repent,  thine  end  is  nigh  ; 

Death,  at  the  farthest,  can't  be  far  : 
O  think  before  thou  die. 

2  Reflect,  thou  hast  a  soul  to  save ; 
Thy  sins,  how  high  they  mount ! 

What  are  thy  hopes  beyond  the  grave  ? 
How  stands  that  dark  account .'' 

3  Death  enters,  and  there's  no  defense  ; 
His  time  there's  none  can  tell; 

He'll  in  a  moment  call  thee  hence. 
To  heaven,  or  down  to  hell. 

4  Thy  flesh,  perhaps  thy  greatest  care. 
Shall  into  dust  consume  ; 

But,  ah  !  destruction  stops  not  there  ; 
Sin  kills  beyond  the  tomb. 

Josepli  Eart. 

OUO     Boast  not  thyself  of  to-morrow. 
Prov.  27:  1. 

1  Why  should  we  boast  of  time  to  come. 
Though  but  a  single  day  } 

This  hour  may  fix  our  final  doom, 
Though  strong,  and  young,  and  gay. 

2  The  present  we  should  now  redeem  ; 
This  only  is  our  own  ; 

The  past,  alas  !  is  all  a  dream ; 
The  future  is  unknown. 

3  O  think  what  vast  concerns  depend 
Upon  a  moment's  space. 

When  life  and  all  its  cares  shall  end 
In  vengeance  or  in  grace. 

4  O  for  that  power  which  melts  the  heart, 
And  lifts  the  soul  on  high! 

Where  sin  and  grief  and  death  depart. 
And  pleasures  never  die.

00  /      The  Ju.^iifer  of  the  ungodly. 

1  Lovers  of  pleasure  more  than  God, 
For  you  he  suff^ered  pain  ; 

For  you  the  Saviour  spilt  his  blood  : 
And  shall  he  bleed  in  vain  } 

2  Sinners,  his  life  for  you  he  paid ; 
Your  basest  crimes  he  bore  ; 

Your  sins  were  all  on  Jesus  laid, 
That  you  might  sin  no  more. 

3  To  earth  the  great  Redeemer  came. 
That  you  might  come  to  heaven ; 

Believe,  believe  in  Jesus'  name, 
And  all  your  sin's  forgiven. 

4  Believe  in  him  who  died  for  thee. 
And,  sure  as  he  hath  died. 

Thy  debt  is  paid,  thy  soul  is  free. 
And  thou  art  justified. 

Charles  "Wesley. 

000  The  hammer  of  His  loord. 

1  Come,  O  thou  all-victorious  Lord, 
Thy  power  to  us  make  known  ; 

Strike  with  the  hammer  of  thy  word. 
And  break  these  hearts  of  stone. 

2  O  that  we  all  might  now  begin 
Our  foolishness  to  mourn  ; 

And  turn  at  once  from  every  sin. 
And  to  the  Saviour  turn! 

3  Give  us  ourselves  and  thee  to  know 
In  this  our  gracious  day  ; 

Repentance  unto  life  bestow. 
And  take  our  sins  away. 

4  Convince  us  first  of  unbelief. 
And  freely  then  release  ; 

Fill  every  soul  with  sacred  grief. 
And  then  with  sacred  peace.

A  thousand  thoughts  revolve. 

Come,  with  your  guilt  and  fear  oppressed, 
And  make  this  last  resolve : —

Like  mountains  round  me  close ; 

I  know  his  courts,  I'll  enter  in. 
Whatever  may  oppose. 

3  Prostrate  I'll  lie  before  his  throne, 
And  there  my  guilt  confess ; 

I  '11  tell  him,  I  'm  a  wretch  undone 
Without  his  sovereign  grace. 

4  Perhaps  he  will  admit  my  plea, 
Perhaps  will  hear  my  prayer  ; 

But,  if  I  perish,  I  will  pray, 
And  pensh  only  there. 

5  I  can  but  perish  if  I  go ; 
I  am  resolved  to  try ; 

For  if  I  stay  away,  I  know 
I  must  forever  die.

When  no  one  else  is  nigh.

How  freely  he  '11  forgive.

»5  4-1  N^o  peace  to  the  vjicked. 

1  Sinners,  the  voice  of  God  regard  ; 
'Tis  mercy  speaks  to-day  ; 

He  calls  you  by  his  sacred  word 
From  sin's  destructive  way. 

2  Like  the  rough  sea,  that  cannot  rest, 
You  live,  devoid  of  peace  ; 

A  thousand  stings  within  your  breast 
Deprive  your  souls  of  ease. 

3  Your  way  is  dark,  and  leads  to  hell : 
Why  will  you  persevere  ? 

Can  you  in  endless  torments  dwell. 
Shut  up  in  black  despair.? 

4  Why  will  you  in  the  crooked  ways 
Of  sin  and  folly  go  } 

In  pain  you  travel  all  your  days, 
To  reach  eternal  woe. 

5  But  he  that  turns  to  God  shall  live, 
Through  his  abounding  grace  : 

His  mercy  will  the  guilt  forgive 
Of  those  that  seek  his  face. 

G  Bow  to  the  scepter  of  his  word. 

Renouncing  every  sin ; 
Submit  to  him,  your  sovereign  Lord, 

And  learn  his  will  divine.

1  Author  of  faith,  to  thee  I  cry, 

To  thee,  who  wouldst  not  have  me  die, 

But  know  the  truth  and  live  : 
Open  mine  eyes  to  see  thy  face  ; 
Work  in  my  heart  the  saving  grace  ; 

The  life  eternal  give. 

2  Shut  up  in  unbelief,  I  groan. 
And  blindly  serve  a  God  unknown. 

Till  thou  the  veil  remove  ; 
The  gift  unspeakable  impart, 
And  write  thy  name  upon  my  heart. 

And  manifest  thy  love. 

.S  I  know  the  work  is  only  thine, 
The  gift  of  faith  is  all  divine  ; 

But,  if  on  thee  we  call. 
Thou  wilt  that  gracious  gift  bestow, 
And  cause  our  hearts  to  feel  and  know 

That  thou  hast  died  for  all. 

4  Thou  bidd'st  us  knock  and  enter  in. 
Come  unto  thee,  and  rest  from  sin. 

The  blessing  seek  and  find  : 
Thou  bidd'st  us  ask  thy  grace,  and  have ; 
Thou  canst,  thou  wouldst,  this  moment  save 

Both  me  and  all  mankind. 


140 


5  Be  it  according  to  thy  word  ; 
Now  let  me  find  my  pardoning  Lord  ; 

Let  what  I  ask  be  given : 
The  bar  of  unbelief  remove ; 
Open  the  door  of  faith  and  love. 

And  take  me  into  heaven, 

Charles  "Wesley,

1  O  Lamb  of  God,  for  sinners  slain, 

1  plead  with  thee,  my  suit  to  gain, — 

I  plead  what  thou  hast  done : 
Didst  thou  not  die  the  death  for  me  ? 
Jesus,  remember  Calvary, 

And  break  my  heart  of  stone. 

2  Take  the  dear  purchase  of  thy  blood. 
My  Friend  and  Advocate  with  God, 

My  Ransom  and  my  Peace, 
Surety,  who  all  my  debt  hast  paid, 
For  all  my  sins  atonement  made. 

The  Lord  my  Righteousness. 

3  O  let  thy  Spirit  shed  abroad 
The  love,  the  perfect  love  of  God, 

In  this  cold  heart  of  mine ! 
O  might  he  now  descend,  and  rest, 
And  dwell  forever  in  my  breast, 

And  make  it  all  divine !

Me,  the  chief  of  sinners,  spare? 

2  I  have  long  withstood  his  grace ; 
Long  provoked  him  to  his  face ; 
Would  not  hearken  to  his  calls ; 
Grieved  him  by  a  thousand  falls. 

3  Now  incline  me  to  repent ; 
Let  me  now  my  sins  lament ; 
Now  my  foul  revolt  deplore. 
Weep,  believe,  and  sin  no  more. 

4  Kindled  his  relentings  are ; 
Me  he  now  delights  to  spare  ; 
Cries,  "  How  shall  I  give  thee  up  ?  " 
Lets  the  lifted  thunder  drop. 

5  There  for  me  the  Saviour  stands. 
Shows  his  wounds  and  spreads  his  hands ; 
God  is  love!  I  know,  I  feel ; 

Jesus  weeps,  and  loves  me  still.

Prostrate  at  thy  feet  I  fall ; 
Hear,  O  hear  my  ardent  cry, 
Frown  not,  lest  I  faint  and  die. 

2  Vilest  of  the  sons  of  men, 
Worst  of  rebels  I  have  been  ; 
Oft  abused  thee  to  thy  face. 
Trampled  on  thy  richest  grace. 

3  Justly  might  thy  vengeful  dart 
Pierce  this  bleeding,  broken  heart ; 


141 


Justly  might  thy  kindled  ire 
Send  me  to  eternal  fire. 

4  But  with  thee  is  mercy  found. 
Balm  to  heal  my  every  wound  ; 
Soothe,  O  soothe  this  troubled  breast. 
Give  the  weary  wanderer  rest.

Help  us  to  look  on  thee,  and  mourn, 

On  thee,  whom  we  have  slain, — 
Have  pierced  a  thousand,  thousand  times, 
And  by  reiterated  crimes 

Renewed  thy  sacred  pain.

Reveal  the  charity  divine, 

That  suffered  in  my  stead  ; 
That  made  thy  soul  a  sacrifice. 
And  quenched  in  death  those  flaming  eye 

And  bowed  that  sacred  head.

And  by  thy  manifested  love. 

And  by  thy  sprinkled  blood, 
Destroy  the  love  of  sin  in  me,

And  bring  me  back  to  God.

Let  a  repenting  rebel  live: 
Are  not  thy  mercies  large  and  free? 
May  not  a  sinner  trust  in  thee  ? 

2  My  crimes  are  great,  but  don't  surpass 
The  power  and  glory  of  thy  grace ; 
Great  God,  thy  nature  hath  no  bound. 
So  let  thy  pardoning  love  be  found. 

3  O  wash  my  soul  from  every  sin, 
And  make  my  guilty  conscience  clean  ; 
Here  on  my  heart  the  burden  lies, 
And  past  offenses  pain  my  eyes. 

10  146 


4  My  lips  with  shame  my  sins  confess. 
Against  thy  law,  against  thy  grace  ; 
Lord,  should  thy  judgments  grow  severe, 
I  am  condemned,  but  thou  art  clear. 

5  Should    sudden    vengeance    seize   my 
breath, 

I  must  pronounce  thee  just,  in  death  ; 
And  if  my  soul  were  sent  to  hell, 
Thy  righteous  law  approves  it  well. 

6  Yet  save  a  trembling  sinner.  Lord, 
Whose  hope,  still  hovering  round  thy  word. 
Would  light  on  some  sweet  promise  there. 
Some  sure  support  against  despair.

Lost  and  undone,  for  aid  I  flee, 
Weary  of  earth,  myself,  and  sin  : 
Open  thine  arms,  and  take  me  in. 

2  Pity  and  heal  my  sin-sick  soul ; 
'Tis  thou  alone  canst  make  me  whole, 
Dark,  till  in  me  thine  image  shine. 
And  lost,  I  am,  till  thou  art  mine. 

3  At  last  I  own  it  cannot  be 
That  I  should  fit  myself  for  thee : 
Here,  then,  to  thee  I  all  resign; 
Thine  is  the  work,  and  only  thine. 

4  What  shall  I  say  thy  grace  to  move  ? 
Lord,  I  am  sin — but  thou  art  love : 
I  give  up  every  plea  beside — 
Lord,  1  am  lost — but  thou  hast  died.

O  Lamb  of  God,  I  come  !  I  come  ! 

3  Just  as  I  am,  though  tossed  about 
With  many  a  conflict,  many  a  doubt, 
Fightings  within,  and  fears  without, 
O  Lamb  of  God,  I  come !  I  come ! 

4  Just  as  I  am — poor,  wretched,  blind  ; 
Sight,  riches,  healing  of  the  mind, 
Yea,  all  I  need,  in  thee  to  find, 

0  Lamb  of  God,  I  come!  I  come! 

5  Just  as  I  am — thou  wilt  receive. 
Wilt  welcome,  pardon,  cleanse,  relieve.; 
Because  thy  promise  I  believe, 

O  Lamb  of  God,  I  come!  I  come! 

0  Just  as  I  am — thy  love  unknown 
Hath  broken  every  barrier  down; 
Now,  to  be  thine,  yea,  thine  alone,

To  thee,  her  Source,  my  spirit  flies; 
My  wants  I  mourn,  my  chains  I  see; 
O  let  thy  presence  set  me  free. 


2  Jesus,  vouchsafe  my  heart  and  will 
With  thy  meek  lowliness  to  fill ; 

No  more  her  power  let  nature  boast, 
But  in  thy  will  may  mine  be  lost. 

3  Already  springing  hope  I  feel, 
God  will  destroy  the  power  of  hell. 
And,  from  a  land  of  wars  and  pain. 
Lead  me  where  peace  and  safety  reign. 

4  One  only  care  my  soul  shall  know,

1  O  FOR  a  glance  of  heavenly  day. 
To  take  this  stubborn  heart  away, 
And  thaw,  with  beams  of  love  divine. 
This  heart,  this  frozen  heart  of  mine ! 

2  The  rocks  can  rend ;  the  earth  can  quake ; 
The  seas  can  roar;  the  mountains  shake: 
Of  feeling,  all  things  show  some  sign. 

But  this  unfeeling  heart  of  mine. 

3  To  hear  the  sorrows  thou  hast  felt, 

0  Lord,  an  adamant  would  melt : 
But  I  can  read  each  moving  line, 
And  nothing  moves  this  heart  of  mine. 

4  Thy  judgments,  too,  which  devils  fear — 
Amazing  thought ! — unmoved  I  hear  ; 
Goodness  and  wrath  in  vain  combine 

To  stir  this  stupid  heart  of  mine. 

6  But  power  divine  can  do  the  deed ; 
And,  Lord,  that  power  I  greatly  need : 
Thy  Spirit  can  from  dross  refine. 
And  melt  and  change  this  heart  of  mine.

And  bid  the  obedient  waters  flow. 

2  'Tis  thine  a  heart  of  flesh  to  give  ; 
Thy  gifts  I  only  can  receive ; 
Here,  then,  to  thee  I  all  resign ; 

To  draw,  redeem,  and  seal,  are  thine. 


3  With  simple  faith,  on  thee  I  call, 
My  Light,  my  Life,  my  Lord,  my  All: 
I  wait  the  moving  of  the  pool ; 

I  wait  the  word  that  speaks  me  whole. 

4  Speak,  gracious. Lord,  my  sickness  cure. 
Make  my  infected  nature  pure  ; 

Peace,  righteousness,  and  joy  impart, 
And  pour  thyself  into  my  heart.

To  thee,  O  Jesus,  I  confess:

And  perfect  it  in  holiness.

And  may  I  still  draw  near? 

Then  listen  to  the  plaintive  sound 
Of  a  poor  sinner's  prayer. 

2  Jesus,  thine  aid  afford, 

If  still  the  same  thou  art: 
To  thee  I  look,  to  thee,  my  Lord, 
I  lift  my  helpless  heart. 

3  Thou  seest  my  troubled  breast, 
The  strugglings  of  my  will, 

The  foes  that  interrupt  my  rest, 
The  agonies  I  feel. 

4  O  my  offended  Lord, 
Restore  my  inward  peace ; 

I  know  thou  canst ;  pronounce  the  word. 
And  bid  the  tempest  cease. 

5  I  long  to  see  thy  face ; 
Thy  Spirit  I  implore — 

The  living  water  of  thy  grace. 
That  I  may  thirst  no  more.

And  force  me  to  thy  breast? 

When  shall  my  soul  return  again 
To  her  eternal  rest  ? 

2  Ah !  what  avails  my  strife, 
My  wandering  to  and  fro  ? 

Thou  hast  the  words  of  endless  life  : 
Ah !  whither  should  I  go  ? 


3  Thy  condescending  grace 
To  me  did  freely  move; 

It  calls  me  still  to  seek  ihy  face. 
And  stoops  to  ask  my  love. 

4  Lord,  at  thy  feet  I  fall ; 
I  groan  to  be  set  free; 

I  fain  would  now  obey  the  call, 
And  give  up  all  for  thee.

My  little  all  to  give? 

To  tear  my  soul  from  earth  away 
For  Jesus  to  receive? 

2  Nay,  but  I  yield,  I  yield ; 
I  can  hold  out  no  more : 

I  sink,  by  dying  love  compelled. 
And  own  thee  conqueror. 

3  Though  late,  I  all  forsake ; 
My  friends,  my  all,  resign : 

Gracious  Redeemer,  take,  O  take, 
And  seal  me  ever  thine. 

4  Come,  and  possess  me  whole. 
Nor  hence  again  remove; 

Settle  and  fix  my  wavering  soul 
With  all  thy  weight  of  love. 

5  My  one  desire  be  this, 
Thy  only  love  to  know ; 

To  seek  and  taste  no  other  bliss. 
No  other  good  below. 

6  My  life,  my  portion  thou; 
Thou  all-sufficient  art : 

My  hope,  my  heavenly  treasure,  now 
Enter,  and  keep  my  heart.

And  sit  in  judgment  on  my  soul, 
O  how  shall  I  appear?

Timely  my  sins  lament; 

And  early,  with  repentant  tears, 
Eternal  woe  prevent. 

5  Behold  the  sorrows  of  my  heart. 
Ere  yet  it  be  too  late ; 

And  hear  my  Saviour's  dying  groan. 
To  give  those  sorrows  weight. 

6  For  never  shall  my  soul  despair 
Her  pardon  to  secure, 

Who  knows  thine   only  Son  hath  died 
To  make  that  pardon  sure.

Stretch  out  thine  arm  omnipotent. 

And  seize  me  for  thine  own ! 

:2  Thou  my  impetuous  spirit  guide. 
And  curb  my  headstrong  will; 


152 


Thou  only  canst  drive  back  the  tide, 
And  bid  the  sun  stand  still. 

3  What  though  I  cannot  break  my  chain. 
Or  e'er  throw  off  my  load? 

The  things  impossible  to  men 
Are  possible  to  God. 

4  Thou  canst  o'ercome  this  heart  of  mine. 
Thou  wilt  victorious  prove ; 

For  everlasting  strength  is  thine. 
And  everlasting  love.

414  The  prodigaVs  return. 

1  The  prodigal,  with  streaming  eyes, 
From  folly  just  awake,     _ 

Reviews  his  wanderings  with  surprise; 
His  heart  begins  to  break. 

2  "  I  starve,"  he  cries,  "nor  can  I  bear 
The  famine  in  this  land, 

While  servants  of  my  Father  share 
The  bounty  of  his  hand. 

3  "With  deep  repentance  I'll  return. 
And  seek  my  Father's  face  ; 

Unworthy  to  be  called  a  son, 
I  '11  ask  a  servant's  place." 

4  Far  off  the  Father  saw  him  move. 
In  pensive  silence  mourn, 

And  quickly  ran,  with  arms  of  love. 
To  welcome  his  return. 

5  Through  all  the  courts  the  tidings  flew. 
And  spread  the  joy  around  ; 

The  angels  tuned  their  harps  anew, — 
The  long-lost  son  is  found  !

Could  my  zeal  no  languor  know.

When  my  eyes  shall  close  in  death, 
When  I  rise  to  worlds  unknown.

Let  me  hide  myself  in  thee.

Christ,  the  true,  the  only  Light, 

Sun  of  righteousness,  arise, 

Triumph  o'er  the  shades  of  night: 
Dayspring  from  on  high,  be  near, 
Day-star,  in  my  heart  appear. 

2  Dark  and  cheerless  is  the  mom. 
Unaccompanied  by  thee; 

Joyless  is  the  day's  return, 

Till  thy  mercy's  beams  I  see; 
Till  thou  inward  life  impart. 
Glad  my  eyes,  and  warm  my  heart.

3  Visit  then  this  soul  of  mine ; 

Pierce  the  gloom  of  sin  and  grief; 
Fill  me.  Radiancy  divine ; 

Scatter  all  my  unbelief: 
More  and  more  thyself  display. 
Shining  to  the  perfect  day.

By  thy  human  griefs  and  fears ; 
By  thy  conflict  in  the  hour 

Of  the  subtle  tempter's  power, — ■ 
Saviour,  look  with  pitying  eye ; 
Saviour,  help  me,  or  I  die. 

2  By  the  tenderness  that  wept 
O'er  the  grave  where  Lazarus  slept; 
By  the  bitter  tears  that  flowed 
Over  Salem's  lost  abode, — 
Saviour,  look  with  pitying  eye; 
Saviour,  help  me,  or  I  die. 

3  By  thy  lonely  hour  of  prayer; 
By  the  fearful  conflict  there ; 
By  thy  cross  and  dying  cries; 
By  thy  one  great  sacrifice, — 
Saviour,  look  with  pitying  eye; 
Saviour,  help  me,  or  I  die. 

4  By  thy  triumph  o'er  the  grave; 
By  thy  power  the  lost  to  save; 
By  thy  high,  majestic  throne; 

By  the  empire  all  thine  own, —

Their  nightly  minutes  gently  move. 

3  Quick  as  their  thoughts  their  joys  come  on. 
But  fly  not  half  so  swift  away: 

Their  souls  are  ever  bright  as  noon. 
And  calm  as  summer  evenings  be. 

4  How  oft  they  look  to  the  heavenly  hills. 
Where  groves  of  living  pleasure  grow  ; 

And  longing  hopes,  and  cheerful  smiles. 
Sit  undisturbed  upon  their  brow! 

5  They  scorn  to  seek  earth's  golden  toys, 
But  spend  the  day,  and  share  the  night. 

In  numbering  o'er  the  richer  joys 

That  Heaven  prepares  for  their  delight.

Whose  mercy  shall  unshaken  stay.

Returning  sinners  to  receive. 
That  mercy  they  may  taste,  and  live.

For  me,  who  him  to  death  pursued?

Who    can    explore    his    strange    de-

To  sound  the  depths  of  love  divine ;

Let  angel  minds  inquire  no  more.

'Tis  mercy  all,  immense  and  free, 
For,  O  my  God,  it  found  out  me  ! 

4  Long  my  imprisoned  spirit  lay. 

Fast  bound  in  sin  and  nature's  night; 
Thine  eye  diffused  a  quickening  ray, 

I   woke,    the    dungeon    flamed    with 
light: 
My  chains  fell  off,  my  heart  was  free, 
I  rose,  went  forth,  and  followed  thee. 

5  No  condemnation  now  I  dread, 
Jesus,  with  all  in  him,  is  mine ; 

Alive  in  him  my  living  Head, 

And  clothed  in  righteousness  divine. 
Bold  I  approach  the  eternal  throne, 
And  claim  the  crown,  through  Christ, 
my  own.

1  In  evil  long  I  took  delight, 
Unawed  by  shame  or  fear, 

Till  a  new  object  struck  my  sight. 
And  stopped  my  wild  career. 

2  I  saw  One  hanging  on  a  tree. 
In  agonies  and  blood. 

Who  fixed  his  languid  eyes  on  me, 
As  near  his  cross  I  stood. 

3  Sure  never  till  my  latest  breath 
Can  I  forget  that  look : 

It  seemed  to  charge  me  with  his  death, 
Though  not  a  Vv'ord  he  spoke. 

4  My  conscience  felt  and  owned  the  guilt. 
And  plunged  me  in  despair ; 

I  saw  my  sins  his  blood  had  spilt, 
And  helped  to  nail  him  there. 

5  Alas!  I  knew  not  what  I  did! 
But  now  my  tears  are  vain : 

Where  shall  my  trembling  soul  be  hid? 
For  I  the  Lord  have  slain ! 

6  A  second  look  he  gave,  which  said, 
"  I  freely  all  forgive; 

This  blood  is  for  thy  ransom  paid; 
I  die  that  thou  mayst  live." 

7  Thus,  while  his  death  my  sin  displays 
In  all  its  blackest  hue. 

Such  is  the  mystery  of  grace. 
It  seals  my  pardon  too.

When  wilt  thou  banish  my  complaints. 
And  show  my  sins  forgiven  ? 

3  Assure  my  conscience  of  her  part 
In  the  Redeemer's  blood; 

And  bear  thy  witness  with  my  heart, 
That  I  am  born  of  God. 

4  Thou  art  the  earnest  of  his  love, 
The  pledge  of  joys  to  come;

And  wash  me  white  as  snow.

Purge  my  iniquity : 

Unless  thou  wash  my  soul  from  sin, 
I  have  no  part  in  thee.

Answer,  if  mine  thou  art; 

Whisper  within,  thou  Love  divine. 
And  cheer  my  drooping  heart.

His  wounds  are  open  wide ; 

For  me  the  blood  of  sprinkling  pleads. 
And  speaks  me  justified.

Thy  head  upon  my  breast!"

The  living  water;  thirsty  one. 

Stoop  down,  and  drink,  and  live!" 

I  came  to  Jesus,  and  I  drank 
Of  that  life-giving  stream; 

My  thirst  was  quenched,  my  soul  revived, 
And  nov/  I  live  in  him.

"  I  am  this  dark  world's  Light; 

Look  unto  me,  thy  morn  shall  rise 

And  all  thy  day  be  bright!" 
I  looked  to  Jesus,  and  I  found 

In  him  my  Star,  my  Sun ; 
And  in  that  light  of  life  I'll  walk, 

Till  all  my  journey's  done.

1  Amazing  grace !  how  sweet  the  sound. 
That  saved  a  wretch  like  me ! 

1  once  was  lost,  but  now  am  found. 
Was  blind,  but  now  I  see. 

'Twas  grace  that  taught  my  heart  to  fear. 

And  grace  my  fears  relieved ; 
How  precious  did  that  grace  appear 

The  hour  I  first  believed ! 

2  Through  many  dangers,  toils,  and  snares, 
I  have  already  come; 

'Tis  grace  hath  brought  me  safe  thus  far, 

And  grace  will  lead  me  home. 
The  Lord  has  promised  good  to  me. 

His  word  my  hope  secures; 
He  will  my  shield  and  portion  be 

As  Irng  as  life  endures. 

3  Yes,  when  this  flesh  and  heart  shall  fail, 
And  mortal  life  shall  cease, 

I  shall  possess,  within  the  veil, 

A  life  of  joy  and  peace. 
The  earth  shall  soon  dissofve  like  snow, 

The  sun  forbear  to  shine ; 
But  God,  who  called  me  here  below, 

Will  be  forever  mine.

4-^0        Reconciliation  v;ith  God. 

1  Eternal  Sun  of  righteousness, 
Display  thy  beams  divine, 

And  cause  the  glories  of  thy  face 
Upon  my  heart  to  shine. 

2  Light  in  thy  light  O  may  I  see. 
Thy  grace  and  mercy  prove  ; 

Revived,  and  cheered,  and  blest  by  thee, 
The  God  of  pardoning  love. 

3  Lift  up  thy  countenance  serene. 
And  let  thy  happy  child 

Behold,  without  a  cloud  between, 
The  Godhead  reconciled. 

4  That  all-comprising  peace  bestow 
On  me,  through  grace  forgiven  ; 

The  joys  of  holiness  below. 
And  then  the  joys  of  heaven.

Htdo  Delightful  assurance. 

1  Sovereign  of  all  the  worlds  on  high, 
Allow  my  humble  claim  ; 

Nor  while,  unworthy,  I  draw  nigh. 
Disdain  a  Father's  name. 

2  My  Father,  God  !  that  gracious  word 
Dispels  my  guilt)^  fear ; 

Not  all  the  notes  by  angels  heard 
Could  so  delight  my  ear. 

3  Come,  Holy  Ghost,  thyself  impress 
On  my  expanding  heart; 

And  show  that  in  the  Father's  grace 
I  share  a  filial  part. 

4  Cheered  by  that  witness  from  on  high. 
Unwavering  I  believe ; 

And,  "Abba,  Father,"  humbly  cry; 
Nor  can  the  sign  deceive.

4oi/  Peace  in  believing. 

1  Jesus,  to  thee  I  now  can  fly, 
On  whom  my  help  is  laid : 

Oppressed  by  sins,  I  lift  mine  eye, 
And  see  the  shadows  fade. 

2  Believing  on  my  Lord,  I  find 
A  sure  and  present  aid  ; 

On  thee  alone  my  constant  mind 
Be  every  moment  stayed.

3  Whate'er  in  me  seems  wise,  or  good, 
Or  strong,  I  here  disclaim ; 

I  wash  my  garments  in  the  blood 
Of  the  atoning  Lamb. 

4  Jesus,  my  strength,  my  life,  my  rest. 
On  thee  will  I  depend. 

Till  summoned  to  the  marriage-feast, 
When  faith  in  sight  shall  end.

My  Saviour,  and  my  Head, 

1  trust  in  thee,  whose  powerful  word 
Hath  raised  him  from  the  dead. 

2  In  hope,  against  all  human  hope, 
Self-desperate,  I  believe ; 

Thy  quickening  word  shall  raise  me  up. 
Thou  wilt  thy  Spirit  give. 

3  P'aith,  mighty  faith,  the  promise  sees, 
And  looks  to  that  alone ; 


159 


Laughs  at  impossibilities, 

And  cries,  "  It  shall  be  done!" 

4  To  thee  the  glory  of  thy  power 
And  faithfulness  I  give ; 

I  shall  in  Christ,  at  that  glad  hour. 
And  Christ  in  me  shall  live. 

5  Obedient  faith,  that  waits  on  thee, 
Thou  never  wilt  reprove  ; 

But  thou  wilt  form  thy  Son  in  me. 
And  perfect  me  in  love. 

Charles  "Wesley. 

4«J»'>  His  hoimdlesa  grace. 

1  What  shall  I  do  my  God  to  love  ? 
My  loving  God  to  praise? 

The  length  and  breadth,  and  height  to 
prove. 
And  depth  of  sovereign  grace? 

2  Thy  sovereign  grace  to  all  extends, 
Immense  and  unconfined ; 

From  age  to  age  it  never  ends ; 
It  reaches  all  mankind. 

8  Throughout  the  world  its  breadth  is 
known. 

Wide  as  infinity : 
So  wide  it  never  passed  by  one. 

Or  it  had  passed  by  me. 

4  My  trespass  was  grown  up  to  heaven; 
But,  far  above  the  skies. 

Through  Christ  abundantly  forgiven, 
I  see  thy  mercies  rise. 

5  The  depth  of  all-redeeming  love, 
What  angel  tongue  can  tell  ? 

O  may  I  to  the  utmost  prove 
The  gift  unspeakable !

2  The  Shepherd  sought  his  sheep, 
The  Father  sought  his  child  ; 

He  followed  me  o'er  vale  and  hill. 
O'er  deserts  waste  and  wild  : 

He  found  me  nigh  to  death, 
Famished,  and  faint,  and  lone ; 

He  bound  me  ■with  the  bands  of  love. 
He  saved  the  wandering  one. 

3  Jesus  my  Shepherd  is; 
'Twas  he  that  loved  my  soul, 

'Twas  he  that  washed  me  in  his  blood, 
'Twas  he  that  made  me  whole : 

'Twas  he  that  sought  the  lost. 
That  found  the  wandering  sheep ; 

'Twas  he  that  brought  me  to  the  fold, 
'Tis  he  that  still  doth  keep.

No  more  a  wayward  child,

Reveal  the  things  of  God  ; 

And  make  to  us  the  Godhead  known.

And  give  us  eyes  to  see. 
That  he  who  did  for  sinners  die. 

Hath  surely  died  for  me.

That  Jesus  is  the  Lord, 

Unless  thou  take  the  veil  away. 
And  breathe  the  living  word : 

Then,  only  then,  we  feel 
Our  interest  in  his  blood  ; 

And  cry,  with  joy  unspeakable, 
"Thou  art  my  Lord,  my  God!" 

3  O  that  the  world  might  know 
The  all-atoning  Lamb ! 

Spirit  of  faith,  descend  and  show 

The  virtue  of  his  name: 
The  grace  which  all  may  find. 

The  saving  power,  impart; 
And  tesdfy  to  all  mankind. 

And  speak  in  every  heart.

O'er  all  my  mind  he  reigns; 

My  care  and  sadness  he  dispels. 
And  soothes  away  my  pains,

1  Arise,  my  soul,  arise; 
Shake  off  thy  guilty  fears ; 

The  bleeding  Sacrifice 
In  my  behalf  appears : 
Before  the  throne  my  Surety  stands, 
-My  name  is  written  on  his  hands. 

2  He  ever  lives  above. 
For  me  to  intercede ; 

His  all-redeeming-  love. 

His  precious  blood,  to  plead  ; 
'His  blood  atoned  for  all  our  race, 
.And  sprinkles  now  the  throne  of  grace. 

3  Five  bleeding  wounds  he  bears, 
Received  on  Calvary ; 

They  pour  effectual  prayers, 
They  strongly  plead  for  me: 
-"•Forgive  him,  O  forgive,"  they  cr}-, 
"Nor  let  that  ransomed  sinner  die." 

-4  The  Father  hears  him  pray. 

His  dear  anointed  One : 
He  cannot  turn  away 
The  presence  of  his  Son : 
His  Spirit  answers  to  the  blood. 
And  tells  me  I  am  bom  of  God. 

5  My  God  is  reconciled ; 

His  pardoning  voice  I  hear: 
He  owns  me  for  his  child ; 
I  can  no  longer  fear: 
With  confidence  I  now  draw  nigh, 
-And,  "Father,  Abba,  Father,"  cry.

1  Thou  great  mysterious  God  unknown, 
Whose  love  hath  gently  led  me  on 

E'en  from  my  infant  days; 
Mine  inmost  soul  expose  to  view. 
And  tell  me  if  I  ever  knew 

Thy  justifying  grace. 

2  If  I  have  only  known  thy  fear. 
And  followed,  with  a  heart  sincere, 

Thy  drawings  from  above ; 
Now,  now  the  further  grace  bestow, 
And  let  my  sprinkled  conscience  know 

Thy  sweet  forgiving  love. 

3  Short  of  thy  love  I  would  not  stop, 
A  stranger  to  the  gospel  hope, 

The  sense  of  sin  forgiven ; 
I  would  not.  Lord,  my  soul  deceive. 
Without  the  inward  witness  live, 

That  antepast  of  heaven. 

4  If  now  the  witness  were  in  me, 
Would  he  not  testify  of  thee. 

In  Jesus  reconciled.' 
And  should  I  not  with  faith  draw  nigh. 
And  boldly,  "Abba,  Father,"  cry, 

And  know  myself  thy  child  ? 

5  Father,  in  me  reveal  thy  Son, 
And  to  my  inmost  soul  make  known. 

How  merciful  thou  art ; 
The  secret  of  thy  love  reveal, 
And  by  thy  hallowing  Spirit  dwell 

Forever  in  my  heart.

4  4  •^         The  joys  of  conversion. 

2  That  sweet  comfort  was  mine, 
When  the  favor  divine 

I  received  through  the  blood  of  the  Lamb ; 

When  my  heart  first  believed, 

What  a  joy  I  received. 
What  a  heaven  in  Jesus's  name ! 

3  'Twas  a  heaven  below 
My  Redeemer  to  know, 

And  the  angels  could  do  nothing  more, 

Than  to  fall  at  his  feet, 

And  the  story  repeat, 
And  the  Lover  of  sinners  adore. 

4  Jesus  all  the  day  long 
Was  my  joy  and  my  song : 

O  that  all  his  salvation  might  see! 

"  He  hath  loved  me,"  I  cried, 

"He  hath  suffered  and  died, 
To  redeem  even  rebels  like  me." 

5  O  the  rapturous  height 
Of  that  holy  delight 

Which  I  felt  in  the  life-giving  blood ! 

Of  my  Saviour  possessed, 

I  was  perfectly  blessed, 
As  if  filled  with  the  fullness  of  God.

440    The  righteousness  of  faith. 

1  Oft  I  in  my  heart  have  said, — 
Who  shall  ascend  on  high. 

Mount  to  Christ,  my  glorious  Head, 
And  bring  him  from  the  sky? 

Borne  on  contemplation's  wing. 
Surely  I  shall  find  him  there. 

Where  the  angels  praise  their  King, 
And  gain  the  Morning  Star. 

2  Oft  I  in  my  heart  have  said, — 
Who  to  the  deep  shall  stoop, 

Sink  with  Christ  among  the  dead. 
From  thence  to  bring  him  up .'' 

Could  I  but  my  heart  prepare. 
By  unfeigned  humility, 

Christ  would  quickly  enter  there. 
And  ever  dwell  in  me. 

3  But  the  righteousness  of  faith 
Hath  taught  me  better  things  -. 

"Inward  turn  thine  eyes,"  it  saith, 
NVhile  Christ  to  me  it  brings : 

"  Christ  is  ready  to  impart 
Life  to  all,  for  life  who  sigh : 

In  thy  mouth  and  in  thy  heart 
The  word  is  ever  nigh."

444  The  new  joy.  ' 

1  Trembling  before  thine  awful  throne, 

0  Lord,  in  dust  my  sins  I  own ; 
Justice  and  mercy  for  my  life 
Contend ;  O  smile,  and  heal  the  strife. 

2  The  Saviour  smiles ;  upon  my  soul 
New  tides  of  hope  tumultuous  roll ; 
His  voice  proclaims  my  pardon  found. 
Seraphic  transport  wings  the  sound. 

3  Earth  has  a  joy  unknown  to  heaven, 
The  newborn  peace  of  sins  forgiven ; 
Tears  of  such  pure  and  deep  delight, 
Ye  angels,  never  dimmed  your  sight. 

4  Bright  heralds  of  the  eternal  Will, 
Abroad  his  errands  ye  fulfill ; 

Or,  throned  in  floods  of  beamy  day, 
Symphonious  in  his  presence  play^ 

5  Loud  is  the  song,  the  heavenly  plain 
Is  shaken  with  the  choral  strain  ; 
And  dying  echoes,  floating  far. 
Draw  music  from  each  chiming  star. 

6  But  I  amid  your  choirs  shall  shine. 
And  all  your  knowledge  shall  be  mine : 
Ye  on  your  harps  must  lean  to  hear 

A  secret  chord  that  mine  will  bear. 

Augustua  Ii.  Hillhoufie. 

440      The  realizing  light  of  faith. 

1  Author  of  faith,  eternal  Word, 
Whose  Spirit  breathes  the  active  flame, 

Faith,  like  its  finisher  and  Lord, 
To-day  as  yesterday  the  same ; 

2  To  thee  our  humble  hearts  aspire. 
And  ask  the  gift  unspeakable ; 

Increase  in  us  the  kindled  fire, 
In  us  the  work  of  faith  fulfill. 


165 


3  By  faith  we  know  thee  strong  to  save ; 
Save  us,  a  present  Saviour  thou : 

Whate'er  we  hope,  by  faith  we  have ; 
Future  and  past  subsisting  now. 

4  To  him  that  in  thy  name  believes. 
Eternal  life  with  thee  is  given ; 

Into  himself  he  all' receives. 

Pardon,  and  holiness,  and  heaven. 

5  The  things  unknown  to  feeble  sense, 
Unseen  by  reason's  glimmering  ray. 

With  strong,  commanding  evidence. 
Their  heavenly  origin  display. 

6  Faith  lends  its  realizing  light  - 

The  clouds  disperse,  the  shadows  fly; 
The  Invisible  appears  in  sight. 
And  God  is  seen  by  mortal  eye. 

Charles  Wesley. 

44U  Salvation  by  grace. 

1  We  have  no  outward  righteousness. 
No  merits  or  good  works  to  plead  ; 

We  only  can  be  saved  by  grace ; 
Thy  grace,  O  Lord,  is  free  indeed. 

2  Save  us  by  grace,  through  faith  alone, 
A  faith  thou  must  thyself  impart ; 

A  faith  that  would  by  works  be  shown, 
A  faith  that  purifies  the  heart : 

3  A  faith  that  doth  the  mountains  move, 
A  faith  that  shows  our  sins  forgiven, 

A  faith  that  sweetly  works  by  love, 
And  ascertains  our  claim  to  heaven. 

4  This  is  the  faith  we  humbly  seek. 
The  faith  in  thy  all-cleansing  blood. 

That  blood  which  doth  for  sinners  speak ; 
O  let  it  speak  us  up  to  God ! 

Charles  "Wesley.

44  /  O  happy  day! 

1  O  HAPPY  day  that  fixed  my  choice 
On  thee,  my  Saviour  and  my  God ! 

Well  may  this  glowing  heart  rejoice. 
And  tell  its  raptures  all  abroad. 

2  O  happy  bond,  that  seals  my  vows 
To  him  who  merits  all  my  love ! 

Let  cheerful  anthems  fill  his  house. 
While  to  that  sacred  shrine  I  move. 

3  'Tis  done,  the  great  transaction's  done  ; 
I  am  my  Lord's,  and  he  is  mine ; 

He  drew  me,  and  I  followed  on. 

Charmed  to  confess  the  voice  divine. 

4  Now  rest,  my  long-divided  heart ; 
Fixed  on  this  blissful  center,  rest ; 

Nor  ever  from  thy  Lord  depart. 
With  him  of  every  good  possessed. 

5  High  Heaven,  that  heard  the  solemn  vow, 
That  vow  renewed  shall  daily  hear, 

Till  in  life's  latest  hour  I  bow. 

And  bless  in  death  a  bond  so  dear. 

Philip  Doddridge. 

44o  Salvation  hy  faith. 

1  Into  thy  gracious  hands  I  fall. 
And  with  the  arms  of  faith  embrace  ; 

0  King  of  glory,  hear  my  call ; 

O  raise  me,  heal  me  by  thy  grace. 
Now  righteous  through  thy  grace  I  am ; 
No  condemnation  now  I  dread ; 

1  taste  salvation  in  thy  name, 
Alive  in  thee,  my  living  Head. 


166 


2  Still  let  thy  wisdom  be  my  guide. 
Nor  take  thy  flight  from  me  away; 

Still  with  me  let  thy  grace  abide. 
That  I  from  thee  may  never  stray; 

Let  thy  word  richly  in  me  dwell. 
Thy  peace  and  love  my  portion  be ; 

My  joy  to  endure  and  do  thy  will. 
Till  perfect  I  am  found  in  thee. 

3  Arm  me  with  thy  whole  armor,  Lord, 
Support  my  weakness  with  thy  might ; 

Gird  on  my  thigh  thy  conquering  sword. 
And  shield  me  in  the  threatening  fight; 

From  faith  to  faith,  from  grace  to  grace. 
So  in  thy  strength  shall  I  go  on. 

Till  heaven  and  earth  flee  from  thy  face. 
And  glory  end  what  grace  begun. 

Wolfgang  C.  DesBler.    Tr.  by  J.  Wesley. 


44y  Forgiving  love. 

1  My  soul,  Avith  humble  fervor  raise 
To  God  the  voice  of  grateful  praise. 
And  all  my  ransomed  powers  combine. 
To  bless  his  attributes  divine. 

2  Deep  on  my  heart  let  memory  trace 
His  acts  of  mercy  and  of  grace. 
Who,  with  a  Father's  tender  care. 
Saved  me  when  sinking  in  despair; 

3  Gave  my  repentant  soul  to  prove 
The  joy  of  his  forgiving  love; 
Poured  balm  into  my  bleeding  breast. 
And  led  my  weary  feet  to  rest.

4oU  The  Mghieay  of  Jioliness. 

1  Jesus,  my  all,  to  heaven  is  gone, 
He  whom  I  fix  my  hopes  upon ; 
His  track  I  see,  and  I  '11  pursue 
The  narrow  way,  till  him  I  view. 

2  The  way  the  holy  prophets  went, 
The  road  that  leads  from  banishment, 
The  King's  highway  of  holiness, 

I  '11  go,  for  all  his  paths  are  peace. 

3  This  is  the  way  I  long  have  sought. 
And  mourned  because  I  found  it  not; 
My  grief  a  burden  long  has  been. 
Because  I  was  not  saved  from  sin. 

4  The  more  I  strove  against  its  power, 
I  felt  its  weight  and  guilt  the  more ; 
Till  late  I  heard  my  Saviour  say, 

"  Come  hither,  soul,  I  am  the  way." 

5  Lo  !  glad  I  come  ;  and  thou,  blest  Lamb, 
Shalt  take  me  to  thee,  as  I  am ; 
Nothing  but  sin  have  I  to  give ; 
Nothing  but  love  shall  I  receive. 

6  Then  will  I  tell  to  sinners  round. 
What  a  dear  Saviour  I  have  found  ; 
I  '11  point  to  thy  redeeming  blood. 
And  say,  "Behold  the  way  to  God." 

John  Cennick. 

40  J  His  sovereign  grace. 

1  Glory  to  God,  whose  sovereign  grace 
Hath  animated  senseless  stones. 

Called  us  to  stand  before  his  face. 
And  raised  us  into  Abrah'm's  sons. 

2  The  people  that  in  darkness  lay, 
In  sin  and  error's  deadly  shade, 

Have  seen  a  glorious  gospel-day 
In  Jesus'  lovely  face  displayed. 


161 


3  Thou  only,  Lord,  the  work  hast  done, 
And  bared  thine  arm  in  all  our  sight ; 

Hast  made  the  reprobates  thine  own. 
And  claimed  the  outcasts  as  thy  right. 

4  Thy  single  arm,  almighty  Lord* 
To  us  the  great  salvation  brought; 

Thy  Word,  thy  all-creating  Word, 

That    spake   at    first   the  world    from 
naught. 

5  For  this  the  saints  lift  up  their  voice. 
And  ceaseless  praise  to  thee  is  given  ; 

For  this  the  hosts  above  rejoice, 

And  praise  thee  in  the  highest  heaven. 

Charles  Wesley. 


40^      The  Lord  our  righteousness. 

1  Let  not  the  wise  their  wisdom  boast. 
The  mighty  glory  in  their  might. 

The  rich  in  flattering  riches  trust, 
Which  take  their  everlasting  flight. 

2  The  rush  of  numerous  years  bears  down 
The  most  gigantic  strength  of  man  ; 

And  where  is  all  his  wisdom  gone, 
When,  dust,  he  turns  to  dust  again  ( 

3  One  only  gift  can  justify 

The  boasting  soul  that  knows  his  God  ; 
When  Jesus  doth  his  blood  apply, 
I  glory  in  his  sprinkled  blood. 

4  The  Lord  my  Righteousness  I  praise, 
I  triumph  in  the  love  divine; 

The  wisdom,  wealth,  and  strength  of  grare, 
In  Christ  to  endless  ages  mine. 

Charles  'Wesley.

4  DO  Tears  of  joy. 

1  Lord,  and  is  thine  anger  gone, 
And  art  thou  pacified? 

After  all  that  I  have  done, 
Dost  thou  no  longer  chide  ? 

Let  thy  love  my  heart  constrain, 
And  all  my  restless  passions  sway : 

Keep  me,  lest  I  turn  again 
Out  of  the  narro-w  way. 

2  See  my  utter  helplessness, 
And  leave  me  not  alone ; 

O  preserve  in  perfect  peace, 
And  seal  me  for  thine  own : 

More  and  more  thyself  reveal, 
Thy  presence  let  me  always  find  ; 

Comfort,  and  confirm,  and  heal 
My  feeble,  sin-sick  mind. 

0  As  the  apple  of  thine  eye. 
Thy  weakest  servant  keep; 

Help  me  at  thy  feet  to  lie, 

And  there  forever  weep : 
Tears  of  joy  mine  eyes  o'erflow. 

That  I  have  any  hope  of  heaven  ; 
Much  of  love  I  ought  to  know. 

For  I  have  much  forgiven. 

Charles  Wesley. 

40U     Notldnf)  but  Christ  crucified. 

1  Vain,  delusive  world,  adieu. 
With  all  of  creature  good ! 

Only  Jesus  I  pursue. 

Who  bought  me  with  his  blood  : 
All  thy  pleasures  I  forego ; 

I  trample  on  thy  wealth  and  pride ; 
Only  Jesus  will  I  know, 

And  Jesus  crucified. 


169 


2  Other  knowledge  I  disdain ; 
'Tis  all  but  vanity  : 

Christ,  the  Lamb  of  God,  was  slain. 

He  tasted  death  for  me. 
Me  to  save  from  endless  woe 

The  sin-atoning  Victim  died: 
Only  Jesus  will  I  know, 

And  Jesus  crucified. 

3  Here  will  I  set  up  my  rest ; 
My  fluctuating  heart 

From  the  haven  of  his  breast 

Shall  never  more  depart : 
Whither  should  a  sinner  go? 

His  wounds  for  me  stand  open  wide; 
Only  Jesus  will  I  know. 

And  Jesus  crucified. 

4  Him  to  know  is  life  and  peace, 
And  pleasure  without  end ; 

This  is  all  my  happiness. 

On  Jesus  to  depend  ; 
Daily  in  his  grace  to  grow. 

And  ever  in  his  faith  abide ; 
Only  Jesus  will  I  know. 

And  Jesus  crucified. 

5  O  that  I  could  all  invite. 
This  saving  truth  to  prove ; 

Show  the  length,  the  breadth,  the  height; 

And  depth  of  Jesus'  love ! 
Fain  I  would  to  sinners  show 

The  blood  by  faith  alone  applied  ; 
Only  Jesus  will  I  know. 

And  Jesus  crucified.

1  Come,  Saviour,  Jesus,  from  above, 
Assist  me  with  thy  heavenly  grace  ; 

Empty  my  heart  of  earthly  love, 
And  for  thyself  prepare  the  place. 

2  O  let  thy  sacred  presence  fill, 
And  set  my  longing  spirit  free ; 

Which  pants  to  have  no  other  will, 
But  night  and  day  to  feast  on  thee. 

3  While  in  this  region  here  below. 
No  other  good  will  I  pursue  : 

I  '11  bid  this  world  of  noise  and  show. 
With  all  its  glittering  snares,  adieu. 

4  That  path  with  humble  speed  I  '11  seek. 
In  which  my  Saviour's  footsteps  shine. 

Nor  will  I  hear,  nor  will  I  speak, 
Of  any  other  love  but  thine. 

5  Henceforth  may  no  profane  delight 
Divide  this  consecrated  soul ; 

Possess  it  thou,  who  hast  the  right. 
As  Lord  and  Master  of  the  whole. 

6  Nothing  on  earth  do  I  desire. 

But  thy  pure  love  within  my  breast ; 
This,  only  this,  will  I  require. 
And  freely  give  up  all  the  rest.

While,  marked  with  blessings,  every  hour 
Shall  speak  thy  co-extended  praise.

Thine  image  in  my  soul  to  see : 

Fill  with  thyself  the  mighty  void ; 
Enlarge  my  heart  to  compass  thee. 

4  The  blessing  of  thy  love  bestow  ; 
For  this  my  cries  shall  never  fail ; 

Wrestling,  I  will  not  let  thee  go, — 
I  will  not,  till  my  suit  prevail. 

5  Come,   then,   my  Hope,  my    Life,    my

1  O  Thou,  who  hast  at  thy  command 
The  hearts  of  all  men  in  thy  hand. 
Our  wayward,  erring  hearts  incline 
To  have  no  other  will  but  thine. 

2  Our  wishes,  our  desires,  control; 
Mold  every  purpose  of  the  soul ; 
O'er  all  may  we  victorious  prove 
That  stands  between  us  and  thy  love. 

3  Thrice  blest  will  all  our  blessings  be, 
When  we  can  look  through  them  to  thee; 
When  each  glad  heart  its  tribute  pays 

Of  love,  and  gratitude,  and  praise. 

4  And  while  we  to  thy  glory  live. 
May  we  to  thee  all  glory  give, 
Until  the  final  summons  come. 
That  calls  thy  willing  servants  home.

40ll  The  vow  sealed  at  the  a-oss. 

1  Lord,  I  am  thine,  entirely  thine. 
Purchased  and  saved  by  blood  divine ; 
With  full  consent  thine  I  would  be. 
And  own  thy  sovereign  right  in  me. 

2  Grant  one  poor  sinner  more  a  place 
Among  the  children  of  thy  grace ; 

A  wretched  sinner,  lost  to  God, 
But  ransomed  by  Immanuel's  blood. 

3  Thine  would  I  live,  thine  would  I  die, 
Be  thine  through  all  eternity ; 

The  vow  is  past  beyond  repeal. 
And  now  I  set  the  solemn  seal. 

4  Here,  at  that  cross  where  flows  the  blood 
That  bought  my  guilty  soul  for  God, 
Thee,  my  new  Master,  now  I  call. 

And  consecrate  to  thee  my  all. 

5  Do  thou  assist  a  feeble  worm 
The  great  engagement  to  perform ; 
Thy  grace  can  full  assistance  lend. 
And  on  that  grace  I  dare  depend. 

Samuel  Savies. 

4  Ox  Thirsting  for  perfect  love. 

1  I  THIRST,  thou  wounded  Lamb  of  God, 
To  wash  me  in  thy  cleansing  blood ; 

To  dwell  within  thy  wounds  ;  then  pain 
Is  sweet,  and  life  or  death  is  gain. 

2  Take  my  poor  heart,  and  let  it  be 
Forever  closed  to  all  but  thee : 

Seal  thou  my  breast,  and  let  me  wear 
That  pledge  of  love  forever  there. 


171 


3  How  blest  are  they  who  still  abide 
Close  sheltered  in  thy  bleeding  side  ! 
Who  thence  their  life  and  strength  derive. 
And  by  thee  move,  and  in  thee  live. 

4  What  are  our  works  but  sin  and  death. 
Till  thou  thy  quickening  Spirit  breathe? 
Thou  giv'st  the  power  thy  grace  to  move ; 
O  wondrous  grace !  O  boundless  love ! 

5  How  can  it  be,  thou  heavenly  King, 
That  thou  shouldst  us  to  glory  bring? 
Make  slaves  the  partners  of  thy  throne. 
Decked  with  a  never-fading  crown  ? 

6  Hence  our  hearts  melt,  our  eyes  o'erflow, 
Our  words  are  lost,  nor  will  we  know, 
Nor  will  we  think  of  aught  beside, 

"My  Lord,  my  Love  is  crucified." 

NieolauB  L.  Zinzendorf.    Tr.  by  J.  Wesley.

And  guard  the  gift  thyself  hast  given : 

My  portion  thou,  my  treasure  art, 
My  life,  and  happiness,  and  heaven. 

2  Would  aught  on  earth  my  wishes  share  ? 
Though  dear  as  life  the  idol  be, 

The  idol  from  my  breast  I  'd  tear. 
Resolved  to  seek  my  all  in  thee. 

3  Whate'er  I  fondly  counted  mine. 
To  thee,  my  Lord,  I  here  restore; 

Gladly  I  all  for  thee  resign ; 
Give  me  thyself,  I  ask  no  more.

Ourselves  to  Christ  we  yield ; 

Nor  from  his  cause  will  we  depart. 
Or  ever  quit  the  field.

But  on  his  grace  rely. 

That,  with  returning  wants,  the  Lord 
Will  all  our  need  supply.

And  keep  us  in  thy  ways ;

6  For  what  to  thee,  O  Lord,  we  give, 
A  hundred  fold  we  here  obtain  ; 

And  soon  with  thee  shall  all  receive. 
And  loss  shall  be  eternal  gain.

1  O  GOD,  what  offering'  shall  I  give 

To  thee,  the  Lord  of  earth  and  skies? 
My  spirit,  soul,  and  flesh  receive, 

A  holy,  living  sacrifice  : 
Small  as  it  is,  'tis  all  my  store ; 
More  shouldst  thou  have,  if  I  had  more. 

2  Now  then,  my  God,  thou  hast  my  soul : 
No  longer  mine,  but  thine  I  am  : 

Guard  thou  thine  own,  possess  it  whole ; 
Cheer  it  with  hope,  with  love  inflame. 
Thou  hast  my  spirit ;  there  display 
Thy  glory  to  the  perfect  day. 

3  Thou  hast  my  flesh,  thy  hallowed  shrine. 
Devoted  solely  to  thy  will : 

Here  let  thy  light  forever  shine  : 

This  house  still  let  thy  presence  fill : 

0  Source  of  life!  live,  dwell,  and  move 
In  me,  till  all  my  life  be  love. 

Joachim  Lange.    Tr.  by  J.  Wesley.

1  Behold  the  servant  of  the  Lord! 
I  wait  thy  guiding  hand  to  feel ; 

To  hear  and  keep  thy  every  word. 

To  prove  and  do  thy  perfect  will : 
Joyful  from  my  own  works  to  cease. 
Glad  to  fulfill  all  righteousness. 

2  My  every  weak,  though  good  design, 
O'errule  or  change,  as  seems  thee  meet ; 

Jesus,  let  all  my  work  be  thine ! 

Thy  work,  O  Lord,  is  all  complete. 
And  pleasing  in  thy  Father's  sight ; 
Thou  only  hast  done  all  things  right. 


176 


3  Here,  then,  to  thee  thine  own  I  leave; 
Mold  as  thou  wilt  thy  passive  clay; 

But  let  me  all  thy  stamp  receive, 
But  let  me  all  thy  words  obey : 
Serve  with  a  single  heart  and  eye, 
And  to  thy  glory  live  and  die. 

Charles  Wesley. 

4  /  U     The  prize  of  our  high  calling. 

1  Jesus,  thy  boundless  love  to  me 

No  thought  can  reach,  no  tongue  de- 
clare ; 
O  knit  my  thankful  heart  to  thee. 

And  reign  without  a  rival  there : 
Thine  wholly,  thine  alone,  I  am ; 
Be  thou  alone  my  constant  flame. 

2  O  grant  that  nothing  in  my  soul 
May  dwell,  but  thy  pure  love  alone : 

O  may  thy  love  possess  me  whole, 

My  joy,  my  treasure,  and  my  crown  : 
Strange  flames  far  from  my  heart  remove. 
My  every  act,  word,  thought,  be  love. 

3  Unwearied  may  I  this  pursue ; 
Dauntless  to  the  high  prize  aspire ; 

Hourly  within  my  soul  renew 

This  holy  flame,  this  heavenly  fire : 
And  day  and  night,  be  all  my  care 
To  guard  the  sacred  treasure  there. 

4  In  suffering  be  thy  love  my  peace; 
In  weakness  be  thy  love  my  power; 

And  when  the  storms  of  life  shall  cease, 

Jesus,  in  that  important  hour, 
In  death  as  life  be  thou  my  guide. 
And  save  me,  who  for  me  hast  died.

Faithful,  if  we  our  sins  confess.

And  cannot  fail,  if  God  is  love.

And  show  and  seal  us  ever  thine.

So  shall  we  thankfully  confess

And  bless  and  praise  thee  evermore, 

And  serve  thee  as  thy  hosts  above :

We  raise  our  songs  of  triumph  higher. 

And  praise  thee  in  a  bolder  strain ;

And  sing,  with  all  the  saints  in  light, 

Thy  everlasting  love  to  man.

4  O  I  Crucified  with  Christ. 

1  Come,  Holy  Ghost,  all-quickening  fire, 
My  consecrated  heart  inspire, 

Sprinkled  with  the  atoning  blood: 
Still  to  my  soul  thyself  reveal : 
Thy  mighty  working  may  I  feel, 

And  know  that  I  am  one  with  God. 

2  Humble,  and  teachable,  and  mild, 
O  may  I,  as  a  little  child. 

My  lowly  Master's  steps  pursue ! 
Be  anger  to  my  soul  unknown; 
Hate,  envy,  jealousy,  be  gone; 

In  love  create  thou  all  things  new. 

3  Let  earth  no  more  my  heart  divide  i 
With  Christ  may  I  be  crucified; 

To  thee  with  my  whole  heart  aspire: 
Dead  to  the  world  and  all  its  toys. 
Its  idle  pomp,  and  fading  joys. 

Be  thou  alone  my  one  desire. 

4  My  will  be  swallowed  up  in  thee; 
Light  in  thy  light  still  may  I  see. 

Beholding  thee  with  open  face ; 
Called  the  full  power  of  faith  to  prove. 
Let  all  my  hallowed  heart  be  love. 

And  all  my  spotless  life  be  praise.

4oO    Cut  short  the  work  in  ric/Meousness. 

1  Saviour  of  the  sin-sick  soul, 
Give  me  faith  to  make  me  whole; 
Finish  thy  great  work  of  grace  ; 
Cut  it  short  in  righteousness. 

2  Speak  the  second  time,  "  Be  clean ! " 
Take  away  my  inbred  sin ; 

Every  stumbling-block  remove ; 
Cast  it  out  by  perfect  love. 

3  Nothing  less  will  I  require; 
Nothing  more  can  I  desire : 


180 


None  but  Christ  to  me  be  given ; 
None  but  Christ  in  earth  or  heaven. 

4  O  that  I  might  now  decrease ! 
O  that  all  I  am  might  cease ! 
Let  me  into  nothing  fall ; 
Let  m}-  Lord  be  all  in  all ! 

Charles  Wesley. 


4o  /      Christ  comforting  mournei-s. 

1  Gracious  soul,  to  whom  are  given 
Holy  hungerings  after  heaven, 
Restless  breathings,  earnest  moans, 
Deep,  unutterable  groans. 

Agonies  of  strong  desire. 

Love's  suppressed,  unconscious  fire; 

2  Turn  again  to  God,  thy  rest, 
Jesus  hath  pronounced  thee  blest: 
Humbly  to  thy  Jesus  turn. 
Comforter  of  all  that  mourn : 
Happy  mourner,  hear,  and  see. 
Claim  the  promise  made  to  thee. 

3  Gently  will  he  lead  the  weak. 
Bruised  reeds  he  ne'er  will  break; 
Touched  with  sympathizing  care. 
Thee  he  in  his  arms  shall  bear. 
Bless  with  late  but  lasting  peace. 
Fill  with  all  his  righteousness. 

4  Lift  to  him  thy  weeping  eye. 
Heaven  behind  the  cloud  descry: 
If  with  Christ  thou  suffer  here. 
When  his  glory  shall  appear, 
Christ  his  suffering  son  shall  own ; 
Thine  the  cross,  and  thine  the  crown.

We  will  covet  nothing  less ; 
Be  thou  all  our  heart's  desire, 

All  our  joy,  and  all  our  peace.

Gladly  would  I  now  be  clean  ; 
Cleanse  me  now  from  every  sin.

Fix  in  us  thy  humble  dwelling ; 

All  thy  faithful  mercies  crown.

Pure  unbounded  love  thou  art ; 
Visit  us  with  thy  salvation ; 

Enter  every  trembling  heart.

Into  every  troubled  breast! 

Let  us  all  in  thee  inherit. 
Let  us  find  that  second  rest. 

Take  away  our  bent  to  sinning;. 
Alpha  and  Omega  be  ; 

End  of  faith,  as  its  beginning, 
Set  our  hearts  at  liberty. 

3  Come,  almighty  to  deliver, 
Let  us  all  thy  life  receive  ; 

Suddenly  return,  and  never. 
Never  more  thy  temples  leave  : 

Thee  we  would  be  always  blessing. 
Serve  thee  as  thy  hosts  above. 

Pray,  and  praise  thee  without  ceasing. 
Glory  in  thy  perfect  love. 

4  Finish  then  thy  new  creation ; 
Pure  and  spotless  let  us  be; 

Let  us  see  thy  great  salvation. 
Perfectly  restored  in  thee :

Changed  from  glory  into  glory. 
Till  in  heaven  we  take  our  place, 

Till  we  cast  our  crowns  before  thee, 
Lost  in  wonder,  love,  and  praise.

E'en  himself  doth  count  as  naught, 

Still  the  one  thing  needful  choosing, 
That  with  all  true  bliss  is  fraught ! 

2  Well  for  him  who  nothing  knoweth 
But  his  God,  whose  boundless  love 

Makes  the  heart  wherein  it  gloweth 
Calm  and  pure  as  saints  above ! 

3  Well  for  him  who  all  forsaking, 
Walketh  not  in  shadows  vain. 

But  the  path  of  peace  is  taking 

Through  this  vale  of  tears  and  pain  r 

4  O  that  we  our  hearts  might  sever 
From  earth's  tempting  vanities, 

Fixing  them  on  him  forever 
In  whom  all  our  fullness  lies  I 

5  Thou,  abyss  of  love  and  goodness. 
Draw  us  by  thy  cross  to  thee. 

That  our  senses,  soul,  and  spirit. 
Ever  one  with  Christ  may  be !

And  stamp  thine  image  on  my  heart.

And  fully  set  my  spirit  free ;

Till  I  am  wholly  lost  in  thee.

Might  with  an  even  flame  aspire.

The  first  abhorred  approach  of  ill. 

Quick  as  the  apple  of  an  eye. 

The  slightest  touch  of  sin  to  feel !

Humbly  and  confidently  wait. 
And  long  to  see  the  perfect  day.

1  Behold  the  throne  of  grace; 
The  promise  calls  us  near ; 

There  Jesus  shows  a  smiling  face, 
And  waits  to  answer  prayer. 

2  My  soul,  ask  what  thou  wilt. 
Thou  canst  not  be  too  bold; 

Since  his  own  blood  for  thee  he  spilt, 
What  else  can  he  withhold  } 

3  Thine  image,  Lord,  bestow. 
Thy  presence  and  thy  love. 

That  we  may  serve  thee  here  below, 
And  reign  with  thee  above. 

4  Teach  us  to  live  by  faith, 
Conform  our  wills  to  thine ; 

Let  us  victorious  be  in  death. 
And  then  in  glory  shine.

Whom  heaven  cannot  contain.

And  in  me  live  and  reign.? 

2  Come,  Spirit  of  the  Lord, 
Teacher  and  heavenly  Guide ! 

Be  it  according  to  thy  word. 
And  in  my  heart  reside. 

3  O  Holy,  Holy  Ghost! 
Pervade  this  soul  of  mine: 

In  me  renew  thy  Pentecost, 
Reveal  thy  power  divine !

Thy  blessed  fruits  to  know ; 

Thy  joy,  and  peace,  and  gentleness, 
Goodness  and  faith  to  show.

In  thy  blest  love  I  rest.

To  die  in  thee  is  life  to  me. 
In  my  eternal  hom.e. 

3  Whether  to  live  or  die, 

I  know  not  which  is  best; 
To  live  in  thee  is  bliss  to  me. 
To  die  is  endless  rest.

I  ask  but  to  be  thine ;

Makes  heaven  forever  mine.

Their  soul  is  his  abode. 

2  Still  to  the  lowly  soul 
He  doth  himself  impart, 

And  for  his  temple  and  his  throne 
Selects  the  pure  in  heart.

May  ours  this  blessing  be ; 

O  give  the  pure  and  lowly  heart, — 
A  temple  meet  for  thee.

Spirit  of  power  within, 

And  bring  the  glorious  liberty 
From  sorrow,  fear,  and  sin ! 

2  The  seed  of  sin's  disease. 
Spirit  of  health,  remove. 

Spirit  of  finished  holiness. 
Spirit  of  perfect  love. 

3  Hasten  the  joyful  day 
Which  shall  my  sins  consume; 

When  old  things  shall  be  done  away. 
And  all  things  new  become. 

4  I  want  the  witness.  Lord, 
That  all  I  do  is  right. 

According  to  thy  will  and  word, 
Well  pleasing  in  thy  sight. 

5  I  ask  no  higher  state; 
Indulge  me  but  in  this. 

And  soon  or  later  then  translate 
To  my  eternal  bliss.

OUO         Waitinff  at  the  cross.

Thee  merciful  and  true : 

Thou  wilt  my  guilty  soul  forgive, 
My  fallen  soul  renew. 

2  Come,  then,  for  Jesus'  sake. 
And  bid  my  heart  be  clean ; 

An  end  of  all  my  troubles  make. 
An  end  of  all  my  sin. 


186 


3  I  cannot  wash  my  heart, 
But  by  believing  thee. 

And  waiting  for  thy  blood  to  impart 
The  spotless  purity. 

4  While  at  thy  cross  I  lie, 
Jesus,  the  grace  bestow  ; 

Now  thy  all-cleansing  blood  apply. 
And  I  am  white  as  snow.

OU4:  Charity  supreme. 

1  Had  I  the  gift  of  tongues. 
Great  God,  without  thy  grace. 

My  loudest  words,  my  loftiest  songs. 
Would  be  but  sounding  brass. 

2  Though  thou  shouldst  give  me  skill 
Each  mystery  to  explain. 

Without  a  heart  to  do  thy  will. 
My  knowledge  would  be  vain. 

3  Had  I  such  faith  in  God 
As  mountains  to  remove. 

No  faith  could  work  effectual  good, 
That  did  not  work  by  love. 

4  Grant,  then,  this  one  request. 
Whatever  be  denied, — 

That  love  divine  may  rule  my  breast. 
And  all  my  actions  guide.

riEST  PART. 

«l)U«>         For  entire  consecration. 

1  Jesus,  my  strength,  my  hope. 
On  thee  I  cast  my  care ; 

With  humble  confidence  look  up, 
And  know  thou  hear'st  my  prayer. 

Give  me  on  thee  to  wait, 
Till  I  can  all  things  do ; 

On  thee,  almighty  to  create. 
Almighty  to  renew. 

2  I  want  a  sober  mind, 
A  self-renouncing  will, 

That  tramples  down,  and  casts  behind. 

The  baits  of  pleasing  ill : 
A  soul  inured  to  pain. 

To  hardship,  grief,  and  loss; 
Bold  to  take  up,  firm  to  sustain. 

The  consecrated  cross. 

3  I  want  a  godly  fear, 

A  quick  discerning  eye. 
That  looks  to  thee  when  sin  is  near, 

And  sees  the  tempter  fly: 
A  spirit  still  prepared. 

And  armed  with  jealous  care ; 
Forever  standing  on  its  guard. 

And  watching  unto  prayer. 

Cbarles  Wesley.

SECOND   PAET. 

OUO     For  perfect  submission. 
1  I  WANT  a  heart  to  pray. 

To  pray,  and  never  cease ; 
Never  to  murmur  at  thy  stay. 

Or  wish  my  sufferings  less. 
This  blessing,  above  all. 

Always  to  pray,  I  want ; 
Out  of  the  deep  on  thee  to  call. 

And  never,  never  faint. 

3  I  want  a  true  regard, 

A  single,  steady  aim. 
Unmoved  by  threatening  or  reward. 

To  thee  and  thy  great  name ; 
A  jealous,  just  concern 

For  thine  immortal  praise; 
A  pure  desire  that  all  may  learn 

And  glorify  thy  grace. 

3  I  rest  upon  thy  word ; 

The  promise  is  for  me  ; 
My  succor  and  salvation.  Lord, 

Shall  surely  come  from  thee : 
But  let  me  still  abide, 

Nor  from  my  hope  remove. 
Till  thou  my  patient  spirit  guide 

Into  thy  perfect  love. 

Charles  'Wesley.

That  fellowship  of  love, 
His  Spirit  only  can  bestow 

Who  reigns  in  light  above. 

3  Walk  in  the  light !  and  thou  shalt  find 

Thy  heart  made  truly  his, 
Who  dwells  in  cloudless  light  enshrined, 

In  whom  no  darkness  is. 

3  Walk  in  the  light !  and  thou  shalt  own 
Thy  darkness  passed  away. 

Because  that  light  hath  on  thee  shone 
In  which  is  perfect  day. 

4  Walk  in  the  light !  and  e'en  the  tomb 
No  fearful  shade  shall  wear ; 

Glory  shall  chase  away  its  gloom, 
For  Christ  hath  conquered  there. 

5  Walk  in  the  light !  thy  path  shall  be 
Peaceful,  serene,  and  bright : 

For  God,  by  grace,  shall  dwell  in  thee. 

And  God  himself  is  light.

To  thee  our  hearts  we  raise ; 

Thy  all-sustaining  power  we  prove, 
And  gladly  sing  thy  praise. 

2  Thine,  wholly  thine,  we  pant  to  be ; 
Our  sacrifice  receive : 

Made,  and  preserved,  and  saved  by  thee. 
To  thee  ourselves  we  give.

3  Heavenward  our  every  wish  aspires. 
For  all  thy  mercy's  store; 

The  sole  return  thy  love  requires, 
Is  that  we  ask  for  more. 

4  For  more  we  ask ;  we  open  then 
Our  hearts  to  embrace  thy  will ; 

Turn,  and  revive  us,  Lord,  again ; 
With  all  thy  fullness  fill. 

5  Come,  Holy  Ghost,  the  Saviour's  love 
Shed  in  our  hearts  abroad ; 

So  shall  we  ever  live,  and  move, 
And  be,  with  Christ  in  God. 

Charles  Wesley. 

509  The  thought  of  God. 

1  O  HOW  the  thought  of  God  attracts 
And  draws  the  heart  from  earth, 

And  sickens  it  of  passing  shows 
And  dissipating  mirth! 

2  'Tis  not  enough  to  save  our  souls. 
To  shun  the  eternal  fires ; 

The  thought  of  God  will  rouse  the  heart 
To  more  sublime  desires. 

3  God  only  is  the  creature's  home, 
^hough  rough  and  straight  the  road ; 

Yet  nothing  less  can  satisfy 
The  love  that  longs  for  God. 

4  O  utter  but  the  name  of  God 
Down  in  your  heart  of  hearts. 

And  see  how  from  the  world  at  once 
All  tempting  light  departs ! 

5  A  trusting  heart,  a  yearning  eye, 
Can  win  their  way  above ; 

If  mountains  can  be  moved  by  faith, 
Is  there  less  power  in  love  ?

Go  nowhere  else  to  seek.

A  sensibility  of  sin, 

A  pain  to  feel  it  near : 

1  want  the  first  approach  to  feel 

Of  pride,  or  fond  desire ; 
To  catch  the  wandering  of  my  will, 
And  quench  the  kindling  fire. 

2  From  Thee  that  I  no  more  may  part. 
No  more  thy  goodness  grieve. 

The  filial  awe,  the  fleshly  heart. 
The  tender  conscience  give. 

Quick  as  the  apple  of  an  eye, 
O  God,  my  conscience  make; 

Awake  my  soul  when  sin  is  nigh, 
And  keep  it  still  awake, 

3  If  to  the  right  or  left  I  stray, 
That  moment,  Lord,  reprove; 

And  let  me  weep  my  life  away. 
For  having  grieved  thy  love. 

O  may  the  least  omission  pain 
My  well-instructed  soul. 

And  drive  me  to  the  blood  again. 
Which  makes  the  wounded  whole.

And  ever  prays  for  me : 

A  token  of  his  love  he  gives, 
A  pledge  of  liberty.

I  shall  be  holy  here. 

2  The  glorious  crown  of  righteousness 
To  me  reached  out  I  view : 

Conqueror  through  him,  I  soon  shall  seize, 
And  wear  it  as  my  due. 

3  The  promised  land,  from  Pisgah's  top, 
I  now  exult  to  see: 

My  hope  is  full,  O  glorious  hope ! 
Of  immortality. 

4  With  me,  I  know,  I  feel,  thou  art; 
But  this  cannot  suffice, 

Unless  thou  plantest  in  my  heart 
A  constant  paradise.

Fill  all  this  mighty  void : 

Thou  only  canst  my  spirit  fill ;

But  grace  hath  set  me  free. 

2  Its  pleasures  can  no  longer  please. 
Nor  happiness  afford : 

Far  from  my  heart  be  joys  like  these, 
Now  I  have  seen  the  Lord.

3  As  by  the  light  of  opening  day 
The  stars  are  all  concealed. 

So  earthly  pleasures  fade  away. 
When  Jesus  is  revealed.

I  bid  them  all  depart: 

His  name,  his  love,  his  gracious  voice. 
Have  fixed  my  roving  heart.

Which  doth  the  mountain  move ; 

And  all  my  spotless  life  shall  show 
The  omnipotence  of  love.

1  Come,  O  Thou  greater  than  our  heart, 
And  make  thy  faithful  mercies  known  ; 

The  mind  which  was  in  thee  impart ; 
Thy  constant  mind  in  us  be  shown. 

2  O  let  us  by  thy  cross  abide, 
Thee,  only  thee,  resolved  to  know. 

The  Lamb  for  sinners  crucified, 
A  world  to  save  from  endless  woe. 

3  Take  us  into  thy  people's  rest. 

And  we  from  our  own  works  shall  cease 
With  thy  meek  Spirit  arm  our  breast. 
And  keep  pur  minds  in  perfect  peace. 

4  Jesus,  for  this  we  calmly  wait ;

Hasten  to  make  our  heaven  complete;

Be  mindful  of  thy  gracious  word. 

And  stamp  me  with  thy  Spirit's  seal. 

2  Open  my  faith's  interior  eye: 
Display  thy  glory  from  above; 

-And  all  I  am  shall  sink  and  die. 

Lost  in  astonishment  and  love.

I  would  be  by  myself  abhorred ; 
All  might,  all  majesty,  all  praise, 

All  glory,  be  to  Christ  my  Lord. 
4  Now  let  me  gain  perfection's  height; 

Now  let  me  into  nothing  fall. 
As  less  than  nothing  in  thy  sight,      , 

And  leel  that  Christ  is  all  in  all.

1  O  Jesus,  full  of  truth  and  grace, 

0  all-atoning  Lamb  of  God, 

1  wait  to  see  thy  glorious  face ; 

1  seek  redemption  through  thy  blood. 

2  Thou  art  the  anchor  of  my  hope; 
The  faithful  promise  I  receive  : 

Surely  thy  death  shall  raise  me  up. 
For  thou  hast  died  that  I  might  live. 

3  Satan,  with  all  his  arts,  no  more 
Me  from  the  gospel  hope  can  move; 

I  shall  receive  the  gracious  power, 
And  find  the  pearl  of  perfect  love. 

4  My  flesh,  which  cries,  "  It  cannot  be,'' 
Shall  silence  keep  before  the  Lord; 

And  earth,  and  hell,  and  sin  shall  flee 
At  Jesus'  everlasting  word.

And  come  for  all  I  want  to  thee. 

2  Save  me  from  pride — the  plague  expel, 
Jesus,  thine  humble  self  impart : 

O  let  thy  mind  within  me  dwell ; 
O  give  me  lowliness  of  heart. 

3  Enter  thyself,  and  cast  out  sin ; 
Thy  spotless  purity  bestow: 

Touch  me,  and  make  the  leper  clean  , 
Wash  me,  and  I  am  white  as  snow. 

4  Sprinkle  me.  Saviour,  with  thy  blood, 
And  all  thy  gentleness  is  mine  ; 

And  plunge  me  in  the  purple  flood. 
Till  all  I  am  is  lost  in  thine.

Which  shall  from  r^re  to  age  endure, 

Whose  word,  when  i.eaven  and  earth  shall

Remains,  and  stands  forever  sure; 

2  That  I  thy  mercy  may  proclaim, 
That  all  mankind  thy  truth  may  see. 

Hallow  thy  great  and  glorious  name. 
And  perfect  holiness  in  me.

From  doubt,  and  fear,  and  sorrow  free ; 
The  mind  which  was  in  Christ  impart. 
And  let  my  spirit  cleave  to  thee. 

4  O  that.  I  now,  from  sin  released, 
Thy  word  may  to  the  utmost  prove ; 

Enter  into  the  promised  rest.

Accomplished  in  the  change  of  mine ; 

And  plunge  me,  every  whit  made  whole, 
In  all  the  depths  of  love  divine. 

3  On  thee,  O  God,  my  soul  is  stayed. 
And  waits  to  prove  thine  utmost  will ; 

The  promise  by  thy  mercy  made, 
Thou  canst,  thou  wilt,  in  me  fulfill. 

4  No  more  I  stagger  at  thy  power. 

Or  doubt  thy  truth,  which  cannot  move : 
Hasten  the  long-expected  hour, 
And  bless  me  with  thy  perfect  love. 

Charles  'Wesley. 

0«5U       Heavenly  bliss  in  prospect. 

1  Arise,  my  soul,  on  wings  sublime, 
Above  the  vanities  of  time ; 

Let  faith  now  pierce  the  veil,  and  see 
The  glories  of  eternity. 

2  Born  by  a  new,  celestial  birth, 
Why  should  I  grovel  here  on  earth  ? 
Why  grasp  at  vain  and  fleeting  toys. 
So  near  to  heaven's  eternal  joys.'' 

3  Shall  aught  beguile  me  on  the  road, 
The  narrow  road  that  leads  to  God  ? 
Or  can  I  love  this  earth  so  well. 

As  not  to  long  with  God  to  dwell.'

4  To  dwell  with  God,  to  taste  his  love, 
Is  the  full  heaven  enjoyed  above  :

And  in  the  knowledge  of  my  Lord, 

Fullness  of  life  eternal  find. 

3  Remember,  Lord,  my  sins  no  more, 
That  them  I  may  no  more  forget ; 

But,  sunk  in  guiltless  shame,  adore, 
With  speechless  wonder,  at  thy  feet. 

4  O'erwhelmedwith  thy  stupendous  grace, 

1  shall  not  in  thy  presence  move ; 
But  breathe  unutterable  praise, 

And  rapturous  awe,  and  silent  love. 

5  Then    every   murmuring  thought,  and 

vain. 
Expires,  in  sweet  confusion  lost : 
I  cannot  of  my  cross  complain, 
I  cannot  of  my  goodness  boast. 

6  Pardoned  for  all  that  I  have  done. 
My  mouth  as  in  the  dust  I  hide ; 

And  glory  give  to  God  alone, 
My  God  in  Jesus  pacified. 

Charles  'Wesley.

Or  rash,  or  idle,  or  unkind ! 

O  how  shall  I,  most  gracious  Lord, 
This  mark  of  true  perfection  find? 

2  Thy  sinless  mind  in  me  reveal ; 
Thy  Spirit's  plenitude  impart; 

And  all  my  spotless  life  shall  tell 
The  abundance  of  a  loving  heart. 

3  Saviour,  I  long  to  testify 

The  fullness  of  thy  saving  grace ; 
O  may  thy  power  the  blood  apply. 

Which  bought  for  me  the  sacred  peace ! 

4  Forgive,  and  make  my  nature  whole, 
My  inbred  malady  remove ; 

To  perfect  health  restore  my  soul, 
To  perfect  holiness  and  love.

Thou  seest  my  heart's  desire ; 

Made  ready  in  thy  powerful  day, 
Thy  fullness  I  require. 

4  My  restless  soul  cries  out,  oppressed, 
Impatient  to  be  freed ; 

Nor  can  I,  Lord,  nor  will  I  rest, 
Till  I  am  saved  indeed. 

5  Thou  canst,  thou  wilt,  I  dare  believe. 
So  arm  me  with  thy  power. 

That  I  to  sin  may  never  cleave, 
May  never  feel  it  more.

O  4  U     Panting  for  fullness  of  love. 

2  Stronger  his  love  than  death  or  hell ; 
Its  riches  are  unsearchable; 

The  first-born  sons  of  light 
Desire  in  vain  its  depths  to  see ; 
They  cannot  reach  the  mystery, 

The  length,  the  breadth,  the  height. 

3  God  only  knows  the  love  of  God ; 
O  that  it  now  were  shed  abroad 

In  this  poor  stony  heart ! 
For  love  I  sigh,  for  love  I  pine ; 
This  only  portion.  Lord,  be  mine; 

Be  mine  this  better  part. 

4  O  that  I  could  forever  sit 
With  Mary  at  the  Master's  feet ! 

Be  this  my  happy  choice; 
My  only  care,  delight,  and  bliss, 
My  joy,  my  heaven  on  earth,  be  this, 

To  hear  the  Bridegroom's  voice. 

5  O  that  I  could,  with  favored  John, 
Recline  my  weary  head  upon 

The  dear  Redeemer's  breast! 
From  care,  and  sin,  and  sorrow  free. 
Give  me,  O  Lord,  to  find  in  thee 

My  everlasting  rest.

Forever  faithful  to  thy  love. 
From  sin  forever  cease  } 

1  thank  thee  for  the  blessed  hope; 
It  lifts  my  drooping  spirits  up ; 

It  gives  me  back  my  peace. 

2  In  thee,  O  Lord,  I  put  my  trust. 
Mighty,  and  merciful,  and  just ; 

Thy  sacred  word  is  passed ; 
And  I,  who  dare  thy  word  believe. 
Without  committing  sin  shall  live. 

Shall  live  to  God  at  last. 

3  I  rest  in  thine  almighty  power; 
The  name  of  Jesus  is  my  tower 

That  hides  my  Hfe  above : 
Thou  canst,  thou  wilt, my  helper  be; 
My  confidence  is  all  in  thee, 

The  faithful  God  of  love. 

4  Wherefore,  in  never-ceasing  prayer. 
My  soul  to  thy  continual  care 

I  faithfully  commend ; 
Assured  that  thou  through  life  wilt  save. 
And  show  thyself  beyond  the  grave 

My  everlasting  Friend.

1  O  GLORIOUS  hope  of  perfect  love! 
It  lifts  me  up  to  things  above ; 

It  bears  on  eag'les'  wings ; 
It  gives  my  ra'"ished  soul  a  taste. 
And  makes  me  for  some  moments  feast 

With  Jesus'  priests  and  kings. 

2  Rejoicing  novir  in  earnest  hope, 

I  stand,  and  from  the  mountain  top 

See  all  the  land  below: 
Rivers  of  milk  and  honey  rise, 
And  all  the  fruits  of  paradise 

In  endless  plenty  grow. 

3  A  land  of  corn,  and  wine,  and  oil. 
Favored  with  God's  peculiar  smile. 

With  every  blessing  blest; 
There  dwells  the  Lord  our  Righteousness, 
And  keeps  his  own  in  perfect  peace. 

And  everlasting  rest. 

4  O  that  I  might  at  once  go  up; 
No  more  on  this  side  Jordan  stop. 

But  now  the  land  possess ; 
This  moment  end  my  legal  years, 
Sorrows  and  sins,  and  doubts  and  fears, 

A  howling  wilderness !

1  Help,  Lord,  to  whom  for  help  I  fly. 
And  still  my  tempted  soul  stand  by 

Throughout  the  evil  day; 
The  sacred  watchfulness  impart. 
And  keep  the  issues  of  my  heart. 

And  stir  me  up  to  pray. 

2  My  soul  with  thy  whole  armor  arm ; 
In  each  approach  of  sin  alarm. 

And  show  the  danger  near: 
Surround,  sustain,  and  strengthen  me. 
And  fill  with  godly  jealousy 

And  sanctifying  fear. 

3  Whene'er  my  careless  hands  hang  down, 
O  let  me  see  thy  gathering  frown. 

And  feel  thy  warning  eye ; 
And,  starting,  cry  from  ruin's  brink, 
"Save,  Jesus,  or  I  yield,  I  sink; 

O  save  me,  or  I  die." 

4  If  near  the  pit  I  rashly  stray. 
Before  I  wholly  fall  away. 

The  keen  conviction  dart; 
Recall  me  by  that  pitying  look, 
That  kind,  upbraiding  glance,  which  broke

["Aronger  than  love,  I  fondly  thought 
Death,  only  death,  can  cut  the  knot. 

Which  love  cannot  untie. 

3  But  thou,  O  Lord,  art  full  of  grace; 
Thy  love  can  find  a  thousand  ways 

To  foolish  man  unknown : 
My  soul  upon  thy  love  I  cast; 
I  rest  me,  till  the  storm  be  past. 

Upon  thy  love  alone. 

4  Thy  faithful,  wise,  almighty  love 
Shall  every  stumbling-block  remove. 

And  make  an  open  way: 
Thy  love  shall  burst  the  shades  of  death. 
And  bear  me  from  the  gulf  beneath. 

To  everlasting  day.

1  Saviour,  on  me  the  grace  bestow. 
That,  with  thy  children,  I  may  know 

My  sins  on  earth  forgiven  ; 
Give  me  to  prove  the  kingdom  mine, 
And  taste,  in  holiness  divine. 

The  happiness  of  heaven. 

2  Me  with  that  restless  thirst  inspire. 
That  sacred,  infinite  desire. 

And  feast  my  hungry  heart ; 
Less  than  thyself  cannot  suffice; 
My  soul  for  all  thy  fullness  cries. 

For  all  thou  hast  and  art. 

3  Jesus,  the  crowning  grace  impart; 
Bless  me  with  purity  of  heart, 

That,  now  beholding  thee, 
I  soon  may  view  thy  open  face. 
On  all  thy  glorious  beauties  gaze. 

And  God  forever  see.

04D        Mourning  departed  joys. 

1  Sweet  was  the  time  when  first  I  felt 
The  Saviour's  pardoning  blood 

Applied  to  cleanse  my  soul  from  guilt, 
And  bring  me  home  to  God. 

2  Soon  as  the  morn  the  light  revealed, 
His  praises  tuned  my  tongue ; 

And  when  the  evening  shades  prevailed, 
His  love  was  all  my  song. 

3  In  prayer  my  soul  drew  near  the  Lord, 
And  saw  his  glory  shine ; 

And  when  I  read  his  holy  word, 
I  called  each  promise  mine. 

4  But  now,  when  evening  shade  prevails. 
My  soul  in  darkness  mourns ; 

And  when  the  morn  the  light  reveals, 
No  light  to  me  returns. 

5  Rise,  Lord,  and  help  me  to  prevail ; 
O  make  my  soul  thy  care ; 

I  know  thy  mercy  cannot  fail ; 
I-et  me  that  mercy  share. 

John  llewLon. 

04/  Sad  reflections  on  spiritual  sloth. 

1  My  drowsy  powers,  why  sleep  ye  .so .'' 
Awake,  my  sluggish  soul ! 

Nothing  hath  half  thy  work  to  do, 
Yet  nothing's  half  so  dull. 

2  Go  to  the  ants  !  for  one  poor  grain 
See  how  they  toil  and  strive ; 

Yet  we,  who  have  a  heaven  to  obtain, 
How  negligent  we  live  ! 

3  We,  for  whose  sake  all  nature  stands. 
And  stars  their  courses  move ; 


200 


We,  for  whose  guard  the  angel  bands 
Come  flying  from  above; 

4  We,  for  whom  God  the  Son  came  down, 
And  labored  for  our  good ; 

How  careless  to  secure  that  crown 
He  purchased  with  his  blood ! 

5  Lord,  shall  we  live  so  sluggish  still. 
And  never  act  our  parts? 

Come,  holy  Dove,  from  the  heavenly  hill, 
And  warm  our  frozen  hearts ! 

G  Give  us  with  active  warmth  to  move, 

With  vigorous  souls  to  rise ; 
With  hands  of  faith,  and  wings  of  love. 

To  fly  and  take  the  prize. 

Isaac  Watts. 

D4o  Returning  to  Christ. 

1  My  head  is  low,  my  heart  is  sad. 
My  feet  with  travel  torn. 

Yet,  O  my  Saviour,  thou  art  glad 
To  see  thy  child  return ! 

2  It  was  thy  love  that  homeward  led, 
Thine  arm  that  upward  stayed  ; 

It  is  thy  hand  which  on  my  head 
Is  now  in  mercy  laid. 

3  O  Saviour,  in  this  broken  heart 
Confirm  the  trembling  will, 

Which  longs  to  reach  thee  where  thou  art, 
Rest  in  thee  and  be  still. 

4  Within  that  bosom  which  hath  shed 
Both  tears  and  blood  for  me, 

O  let  me  hide  this  aching  head, 
Once  pressed  and  blessed  by  thee.

A  light  to  shine  upon  the  road 
That  leads  me  to  the  Lamb!

Our  God  is  gracious,  nor  will  leave 
The  desolate  to  mourn. 

2  His  voice  commands  the  tempest  forth, 
And  stills  the  stormy  wave ; 

His  arm,  though  it  be  strong  to  smite, 
Is  also  strong  to  save. 

3  Our  hearts,  if  God  we  seek  to  know. 
Shall  know  him  and  rejoice ; 

His  coming  like  the  morn  shall  be, 
Like  morning  songs  his  voice.

Diffusing  fragrance  round ; 

As  show^ers  that  usher  in  the  spring,

Higher  than  the  heights  above ; 
Deeper  than  the  depths  beneath. 
Free  and  faithful,  strong  as  death. 

5  "  Thou  shalt  see  my  glory  soon. 
When  the  work  of  faith  is  done ; 
Partner  of  my  throne  shalt  be ; 
Say,  poor  sinner,  lov'st  thou  me?" 

6  Lord,  it  is  my  chief  complaint 
That  my  love  is  weak  and  faint. 
Yet  I  love  thee  and  adore:

OOy  The  deceitfulness  of  sin. 

1  Jesus,  Friend  of  sinners,  hear 
Yet  once  again,  I  pray; 

From  my  debt  of  sin  set  clear, 

For  I  have  naught  to  pay : 
Speak,  O  speak  the  kind  release; 

A  poor  backsliding  soul  restore; 
Love  me  freely,  seal  my  peace. 

And  bid  me  sin  no  more. 

2  For  my  selfishness  and  pride 
Thou  hast  withdrawn  thy  grace ; 

Left  me  long  to  wander  wide. 

An  outcast  from  thy  face ; 
But  I  now  my  sins  confess, 

And  mercy,  mercy,  I  implore; 
Love  me  freely,  seal  my  peace. 

And  bid  me  sin  no  more. 

3  Sin's  deceitfulness  hath  spread 
A  hardness  o'er  my  heart ; 

But  if  thou  thy  Spirit  shed. 

The  stony  shall  depart : 
Shed  thy  love,  thy  tenderness. 

And  let  me  feel  thy  softening  power ; 
Love  me  freely,  seal  my  peace, 

And  bid  me  sin  no  more.

That  marked  our  union  with  the  Lord .'' 

Our  hearts  were  fixed  on  things  above. 
Nor  could  the  world  a  joy  afford. 

2  Where  is  the  zeal  that  led  us  then 
To  make  our  Saviour's  glory  known  ? 

That  freed  us  from  the  fear  of  men, 
And  kept  our  eye  on  him  alone.'' 

3  Where  are  the  happy  seasons,  spent 
In  fellowship  with  him  we  loved.? 

The  sacred  joy,  the  sweet  content. 
The  blessedness  that  then  we  proved.'' 

4  Behold,  again  we  turn  to  thee ; 
O  cast  us  not  away,  though  vile : 

No  peace  we  have,  no  joy  we  see, 
O  Lord  our  God,  but  in  thy  smile.

Brothers,  we  are  treading 
Where  the  saints  have  trod  ; 

We  are  not  divided, 
All  one  body  we. 

One  in  hope  and  doctrine, 
One  in  charity. 

4  Crowns  and  thrones  may  perish. 
Kingdoms  rise  and  wane, 

But  the  Church  of  Jesus 

Constant  will  remain; 
Gates  of  hell  can  never 

'Gainst  that  Church  prevail ; 
We  have  Christ's  own  promise. 

And  that  cannot  fail. 

5  Onward,  then,  ye  people! 
Join  our  happy  throng. 

Blend  with  ours  your  voices 

In  the  triumph-song; 
Glory,  laud,  and  honor 

Unto  Christ  the  King, 
This  through  countless  ages 

Men  and  angels  sing.

And  heaven  is  all  possessed ;

To  lay  thine  armor  by, 

And  wear,  in  endless  glory.

1  I  AND  my  house  will  serve  the  Lord : 
But  first,  obedient  to  his  word 

I  must  myself  appear; 
By  actions,  words,  and  tempers,  show 
That  I  my  heavenly  Master  know. 

And  serve  with  heart  sincere. 

2  I  must  the  fair  example  set ; 
From  those  that  on  my  pleasure  wait 

The  stumbling-block  remove; 
Their  duty  by  my  life  explain, 
And  still  in  all  my  works  maintain 

The  dignity  of  love. 

3  Easy  to  be  entreated,  mild. 
Quickly  appeased  and  reconciled, 

A  follower  of  my  God, 
A  saint  indeed,  I  long  to  be, 
And  lead  my  faithful  family 

In  the  celestial  road. 

4  Lord,  if  thou  didst  the  wish  infuse, 
A  vessel  fitted  for  thy  use 

Into  thy  hands  receive : 
Work  in  me  both  to  will  and  do; 
And  show  them  how  believers  true. 

And  real  Christians,  live.

0  /  O         Sow  beside  all  waters. 

1  Sow  in  the  morn  thy  seed; 
At  eve  hold  not  thy  hand ; 

To  doubt  and  fear  give  thou  no  heed. 
Broadcast  it  o'er  the  land. 

2  Thou  know'st  not  which  shall  thrive. 
The  late  or  early  sown  ; 

Grace  keeps  the  precious  germ  alive, 
When  and  wherever  strown :

And  the  full  corn  at  length.

Cold,  heat,  and  moist,  and  dry. 

Shall  foster  and  mature  the  grain 
For  garners  in  the  sky. 

5  Then,  when  the  glorious  end. 
The  day  of  God,  shall  come, 

The  angel  reapers  shall  descend. 

And  heaven  shout,  "Harvest  home!"

For  thou  so  soon  must  die; 

Time  hurries  past  thee  like  the  breeze; 
How  swift  its  moments  fly! 

2  Make  haste,  O  man,  to  do 
Whatever  must  be  done; 

Thou  hast  no  time  to  lose  in  sloth, 
Thy  day  will  soon  be  gone. 

3  Up,  then,  with  speed,  and  work; 
Fling  ease  and  self  away ; 

This  is  no  time  for  thee  to  sleep. 
Up,  watch,  and  work,  and  pray ! 

4  Make  haste,  O  man,  to  live. 
Thy  time  is  almost  o'er; 

O  sleep  not,  dream  not,  but  arise. 
The  Judge  is  at  the  door.

Tlie  Lord  our  Leader  is; 

The  foe  before  his  banner  flies. 
And  victory  is  his. 

2  We  follow  thee,  our  Guide, 
Our  Saviour,  and  our  King; 

We  follow  thee,  through  grace  supplied 
From  heaven's  eternal  spring. 

3  We  soon  shall  see  the  day 
When  all  our  toils  shall  cease ; 

When  we  shall  cast  our  arms  away, 
And  dwell  in  endless  peace. 

4  This  hope  supports  us  here; 
It  makes  our  burdens  light; 

'Twill  serve  our  drooping  hearts  to  cheer, 
Till  faith  shall  end  in  sight: 

5  Till,  of  the  prize  possessed. 
We  hear  of  war  no  more ; 

And  ever  with  our  I-eader  rest. 
On  yonder  peaceful  shore.

Already  cheers  the  soil. 

2  Go  where  the  sick  recline, 
Where  mourning  hearts  deplore; 

And  where  the  sons  of  sorrow  pine. 
Dispense  your  hallowed  store. 

3  Be  faith,  which  looks  above, 
With  prayer,  your  constant  guest; 

And  wrap  the  Saviour's  changeless  love 
A  mantle  round  your  breast.

That  earth  may  ne'er  despoil.

Repay  your  arduous  toil.

And  take  the  glorious  prize.

Through  many  a  conflict  here.

The  world  must  sink  beneath  the  hanfl 

Which  arms  us  for  the  war : 
This  is  the  victoiy, — 

Before  our  faith  they  fall ; 
Jesus  hath  died  for  you  and  me; 

Believe,  and  conquer  all.

To  thine  aspiring  eye: — 

4  That  prize,  with  peerless  glories  bright. 
Which  shall  new  luster  boast. 

When   victors'    wreaths    and    monarchs* 
gems 
Shall  blend  in  common  dust. 

5  Blest  Saviour,  introduced  by  thee. 
Have  I  my  race  begun ; 

And,  crowned  with  victor^-,  at  thy  feet 
I  '11  lay  my  honors  down.

1  I  'm  not  ashamed  to  own  my  Lord, 
Or  to  defend  his  cause  ; 

Maintain  the  honor  of  his  word. 
The  glory  of  his  cross. 

2  Jesus,  my  God !  I  know  his  name; 
His  name  is  all  my  trust ; 

Nor  will  he  put  my  soul  to  shame, 
Nor  let  my  hope  be  lost. 

3  Firm  as  his  throne  his  promise  stands. 
And  he  can  well  secure 

What  I  've  committed  to  his  hands, 
Till  the  decisive  hour. 

4  Then  will  he  own  my  worthless  name 
Before  his  Father's  face, 

And  in  the  New  Jerusalem 
Appoint  my  soul  a  place.

OtyU  Tb  doubf,  disloyal. 

1  O  IT  is  hard  to  work  for  God, 
To  rise  and  take  his  part 

Upon  this  battle-field  of  earth. 
And  not  sometimes  lose  heart! 

2  He  hides  himself  so  wondrously. 
As  though  there  were  no  God ; 

He  is  least  seen  when  all  the  powers 
Of  ill  are  most  abroad  ; 

3  Or  he  deserts  us  in  the  hour 
The  fight  is  all  but  lost ; 

And  seems  to  leave  us  to  ourselves 
Just  when  we  need  him  most. 

4  It  is  not  so,  but  so  it  looks ; 
And  we  lose  courage  then ; 

And  doubts  will  come  if  God  hath  kept 
His  promises  to  men. 

5  But  right  is  right,  since  God  is  God ; 
And  right  the  day  must  win ; 

To  doubt  would  be  disloyalty, 
To  falter  would  be  sin ! 

Frederick  W.  Paber. 

Ot/ V  Week-day  worship. 

1  Behold  us,  Lord,  a  little  space 

From  daily  tasks  set  free. 
And  met  within  thy  holy  place 

To  rest  awhile  with  thee. 

3  Around  us  rolls  the  ceaseless  tide 

Of  business,  toil,  and  care, 
And  scarcely  can  we  turn  aside 

For  one  brief  hour  of  prayer. 


219 


3  Yet  these  are  not  the  only  walls 
Wherein  thou  mayst  be  sought ; 

On  homeliest  work  thy  blessing  falls 
In  truth  and  patience  wrought. 

4  Thine  is  the  loom,  the  forge,  the  mart. 
The  wealth  of  land  and  sea ; 

The  worlds  of  science  and  of  art, 
Revealed  and  ruled  by  thee. 

5  Then  let  us  prove  our  heavenly  birth 
In  all  we  do  and  know; 

And  claim  the  kingdom  of  the  earth 
For  thee,  and  not  thy  foe. 

6  Work  shall  be  prayer,  if  all  be  wrought 
As  thou  wouldst  have  it  done ; 

And  prayer,  by  thee  inspired  and  taught. 
Itself  with  work  be  one. 

John  EUerton. 


i^yo  More  reapers. 

1  O  STILL  in  accents  sweet  and  strong- 
Sounds  forth  the  ancient  word, 

"  More  reapers  for  white  harvest  fields, 
More  laborers  for  the  Lord ! " 

2  We  hear  the  call ;  in  dreams  no  more 
In  selfish  ease  we  lie, 

But  girded  for  our  Father's  work, 
Go  forth  beneath  his  sky. 

3  Where   prophets'  word,  and  martyrs 

blood. 
And  prayers  of  saints  were  sown, 
We,  to  their  labors  entering  in. 

Would  reap  where  they  have  strown.

"  If  thou  wouldst  my  disciple  be  ; 

Deny  thyself,  the  world  forsake, 
And  humbly  follow  after  me." 

2  Take  up  thy  cross ;  let  not  its  weight 
Fill  thy  weak  spirit  with  alarm  ; 

His  strength  shall  bear  thy  spirit  up. 

And  brace  thy  heart  and  nerve  thine  arm. 

3  Take  up  thy  cross,  nor  heed  the  shame ; 
Nor  let  thy  foolish  pride  rebel; 

Thy  Lord  for  thee  the  cross  endured. 
To  save  thy  soul  from  death  and  hell. 

4  Take  up  thy  cross,  then,  in  his  strength, 
And  calmly  every  danger  brave; 

'Twill  guide  thee  to  a  better  home, 
And  lead  to  victory  o'er  the  grave.

Nor  think  till  death  to  lay  it  down;

May  hope  to  wear  the  glorious  crown.

yjyi'i  The  sure  reward. 

1  It  may  not  be  our  lot  to  wield 
The  sickle  in  the  ripened  field ; 
Nor  ours  to  hear,  on  summer  eves. 
The  reaper's  song  among  the  sheaves. 

2  Yet  where  our  duty's  task  is  wrought 
In  unison  with  God's  great  thought, 
The  near  and  future  blend  in  one, 

And  whatsoe'er  is  willed,  is  done. 

3  And  ours  the  grateful  service  whence 
Comes,  day  by  day,  the  recompense; 


221 


The  hope,  the  trust,  the  purpose  stayed. 
The  fountain, and  the  noonday  shade. 

4  And  were  this  life  the  utmost  span. 
The  only  end  and  aim  of  man, 
Better  the  toil  of  fields  like  these 
Than  waking  dream  and  slothful  ease. 

5  But  life,  though  falling  like  our  grain. 
Like  that  revives  and  springs  again ; 
And,  early  called,  how  blest  are  they 
Who  wait  in  heaven,  their  harvest  day ! 

John  Q.  Whittier. 

OUo  Zeal  in  labor.

It  is  the  way  the  Master  went ; 

Should  not  the  servant  tread  it  still.? 

2  Go,  labor  on  ;  'tis  not  for  naught ; 
Thine  earthly  loss  is  heavenly  gain ; 

Men  heed  thee,  love  thee,  praise  thee  not; 
The  Master  praises, — what  are  men  } 

3  Go,  labor  on  ;  your  hands  are  weak ; 
Your  knees   are   faint,  your   soul    cast 

down ; 
Yet  .falter  not;  the  prize  you  seek 
Is  near, — a  kingdom  and  a  crown  ! 

4  Toil  on,  faint  not ;  keep  watch, and  pray! 
Be  wise  the  erring  soul  to  win ; 

Go  forth  into  the  world's  highway; 
Compel  the  wanderer  to  come  in. 

5  Toil  on,  and  in  thy  toil  rejoice; 
For  toil  comes  rest,  for  exile  home; 

Soon   shalt   thou  hear   the   Bridegroom's

The  midnight  peal,  "Behold,  I  come!"

A  mortal  man  ashamed  of  thee? 
Ashamed  of  thee,  whom  angels  praise, 
Whose  glories  shine  through  endless  days  ? 

2  Ashamed  of  Jesus!  sooner  far 
Let  evening  blush  to  own  a  star; 
He  sheds  the  beams  of  light  divine 
O'er  this  benighted  soul  of  mine. 

,3  Ashamed  of  Jesus !  just  as  soon 
Let  midnight  be  ashamed  of  noon  ; 
'Tis  midnight  with  my  soul  till  he, 
Bright  Morning  Star,  bid  darkness  flee. 

4  Ashamed  of  Jesus  !  that  dear  Friend 
On  whom  my  hopes  of  heaven  depend ! 
No ;  when  I  blush,  be  this  my  shame, 
That  I  no  more  revere  his  name. 

5  Ashamed  of  Jesus!  yes,  Imay, 
When  I  've  no  guilt  to  wash  away ; 
No  tear  to  wipe,  no  good  to  crave, 
No  fears  to  quell,  no  soul  to  save. 

6  Till  then — nor  is  my  boasting  vain — 
Till  then    I  boast  a  Saviour  slain ; 
And  O,  may  this  my  glory  be, 

That  Christ  is  not  ashamed  of  me  !

'Tis  my  delight  thy  face  to  see, 

And  serve  the  cause  of  such  a  Friend. 

3  I  would  not  sigh  for  worldly  joy. 
Or  to  increase  my  worldly  good  ; 

Nor  future  days  nor  powers  employ 
To  spread  a  sounding  name  abroad. 

4  'Tis  to  my  Saviour  I  would  live. 
To  him  who  for  my  ransom  died ; 

Nor  could  all  worldly  honor  give 
Such  bliss  as  crowns  me  at  his  side. 

5  His  work  my  hoary  age  shall  bless. 
When  youthful  vigor  is  no  more; 

And  my  last  hour  of  life  confess 
His  dying  love,  his  saving  power. 

Philip  Doddridge.

In  all  I  think,  or  speak,  or  do. 

2  Thee  will  I  set  at  my  right  hand. 
Whose  eyes  mine  inmost  substance  see  ; 

And  labor  on  at  thy  command. 
And  offer  all  my  works  to  thee. 

3  Give  me  to  bear  thy  easy  yoke, 
And  every  moment  watch  and  pray; 

And  still  to  things  eternal  look. 
And  hasten  to  thy  glorious  day. 

4  For  thee  delightfully  employ 
Whate'er  thy   bounteous    grace    hath 

given ; 
And  run  my  course  with  even  joy, 

And  closely  walk  with  thee  to  heaven.

Breathes  sweetness  out  of  woe.

Sweet  to  look  forward,  and  behold 
Eternal  joys  my  own  ; 

4  Sweet  to  reflect  how  grace  divine 
My  sins  on  Jesus  laid  ; 

Sweet  to  remember  that  his  blood 
My  debt  of  suffering  paid ; 

5  Sweet  to  rejoice  in  lively  hope, 
That,  when  my  change  shall  come. 

Angels  shall  hover  round  my  bed, 
And  waft  my  spirit  home. 

6  If  such  the  sweetness  of  the  stream, 
What  must  the  fountain  be. 

Where  saints  and  angels  draw  their  bliss 
Directly,  Lord,  from  thee !

*  Eet.  John  Black. 


OXO  Friend  of  souls. 

1  O  Friend  of  souls !  how  blest  the  time 
When  in  thy  love  I  rest, 

When  from  my  weariness  I  climb 
E'en  to  thy  tender  breast! 

2  The  night  of  sorrow  endeth  there. 
Thy  rays  outshine  the  sun. 

And  in  thy  pardon  and  thy  care 
The  heaven  of  heavens  is  won. 

3  The  world  may  call  itself  my  foe. 
Or  flatter  and  allure  : 

I  care  not  for  the  world ;  I  go 
To  this  tried  Friend  and  sure. 

4  And  when   life's   fiercest   storms   are 

sent 
Upon  life's  wildest  sea. 
My  little  bark  is  confident. 
Because  it  holdeth  thee. 

5  To    others,    death    seems    dark    and 

grim. 
But  not,  O  Lord,  to  me: 
I  know  thou  ne'er  forsakest  him 
Who  puts  his  trust  in  thee. 

6  Nay,  rather,  with  a  joyful  heart 
I  welcome  the  release 

From  this  dark  desert,  and  depart 
To  thy  eternal  peace. 

Wolfgang  C.  Dessler. 

OA'*  Unfaltering  trust. 

1  Father  of  love,  our  Guide  and  Friend, 

0-lead  us  gently  on, 
Until  life's  trial-time  shall  end. 

And  heavenly  peace  be  won. 


15 


225 


2  We  know  not  what  the  path  may  be 
As  yet  by  us  untrod ; 

But  we  can  trust  our  all  to  thee, 
Our  Father  and  our  God. 

3  If  called,  like  Abraham's  child,  to  climb 
The  hill  of  sacrifice, 

Some  angel  may  be  there  in  time ; 
Deliverance  shall  arise : 

4  Or,  if  some  darker  lot  be  good, 
O  teach  us  to  endure 

The  sorrow,  pain,  or  solitude, 
That  make  the  spirit  pure. 

5  Christ  by  no  flowery  pathway  came; 
And  we,  his  followers  here, 

Must  do  thy  will  and  praise  thy  name. 
In  hope,  and  love,  and  fear. 

6  And,  till  in  heaven  we  sinless  bow. 
And  faultless  anthems  raise, 

0  Father,  Son,  and  Spirit,  now 
Accept  our  feeble  praise. 

'William  J.  IroBB. 
OA  O  Crosses  and  blessings. 

1  Since  all  the  varying  scenes  of  time 
God's  watchful  eye  surveys, 

O  who  so  wise  to  choose  our  lot. 
Or  to  appoint  our  ways  ? 

2  Good,  when  he  gives — supremely  good. 
Nor  less  when  he  denies  ; 

E'en  crosses,  from  his  sovereign  hand. 
Are  blessings  in  disguise. 

3  Why  should  we  doubt  a  Father's  love; 
So  constant  and  so  kind  ? 

To  his  unerring,  gracious  will 
Be  every  wish  resigned.

Be  my  vain  wishes  stilled ; 

And  may  this  consecrated  hour 
With  Better  hopes  be  filled.

In  every  pain  I  bear,

Our  cheerful  hopes  confide; 

O  let  thy  power  be  our  defense, 
Thy  love  our  footsteps  guide. 

3  And  since,  by  passion's  force  subdued, 
Too  oft,  with  stubborn  will. 

We  blindly  shun  the  latent  good, 
And  grasp  the  specious  ill, — 

4  Not  what  we  wish,  but  what  we  want, 
Let  mercy  still  supply : 

The  good  we  ask  not,  Father,  grant ; 
The  ill  we  ask,  deny.

1  O  Thou  from  whom  all  goodness  flows, 
I  lift  my  soul  to  thee ; 

In  all  my  sorrows,  conflicts,  woes, 
Dear  Lord,  remember  me. 

2  If,  for  thy  sake,  upon  my  name 
Reproach  and  shame  shall  be, 

I'll  hail  reproach,  and  welcome  shame, 
If  thou  remember  me. 

3  When  worn  with  pain,  disease,  and  grief. 
This  feeble  body  see  ; 

Grant  patience,  rest,  and  kind  relief; 
Hear,  and  remember  me. 

4  When,  in  the  solemn  hour  of  death, 
I  wait  thy  just  decree. 

Saviour,  with  my  last  parting  breath, 
I'll  cry,  "Remember  me." 

5  And  when  before  thy  throne  I  stand, 
And  lift  my  soul  to  thee, 

Then,  with  the  saints  at  thy  right  hand, 

0  Lord,  remember  me. 

Thomas  Hawsia. 

O^U  U.gld  at  evening. 

1  We  journey  through  a  vale  of  tears. 
By  many  a  cloud  o'ercast ; 

And  worldly  cares  and  worldly  fears. 
Go  with  us  to  the  last. 

3  Not  to  the  last !  Thy  word  hath  said. 

Could  we  but  read  aright, 
"Poor  pilgrim,  lift  in  hope  thy  head, 

At  eve  it  shall  be  light!  " 


221 


3  Though    earthborn  shadows  now  may 

shroud 
Thy  thorny  path  awhile, 
God's  blessed  word  can  part  each  cloud. 
And  bid  the  sunshine  smile. 

4  Only  believe,  in  living  faith, 
His  love  and  power  divine ; 

And  ere  thy  sun  shall  set  in  death, 
His  light  shall  round  thee  shine. 

5  When  tempest  clouds  are  dark  on  high. 
His  bow  of  love  and  peace 

Shines  sweetly  in  the  vaulted  sky, 
A  pledge  tlaat  storms  shall  cease. 

6  Hold  on  thy  way,  with  hope  unchilled. 
By  faith  and  not  by  sight. 

And  thou  shalt  own  his  word  fulfilled, 
"  At  eve  it  shall  be  light." 

Bernard  Barton.

1  I  LOVE  the  Lord :  he  heard  my  cries. 
And  pitied  every  groan  ; 

Long  as  I  live,  when  troubles  rise, 
I  '11  hasten  to  his  throne. 

2  I  love  the  Lord  :  he  bowed  his  ear,. 
And  chased  my  grief  away  ; 

O  let  my  heart  no  more  despair, 
While  I  have  breath  to  pray. 

3  The  Lord  beheld  me  sore  distressed : 
He  bade  my  pains  remove: 

Return,  my  soul,  to  God, thy  rest. 
For  thou  hast  known  his  love.

But  shall  I  therefore  let  him  go. 

And  basely  to  the  tempter  yield  .^ 
No,  in  the  strength  of  Jesus,  no,

2  Although  the  vine  its  fruit  deny, 
Although  the  olive  yield  no  oil. 

The  withering  fig-trees  droop  and  die, 
The  fields  elude  the  tiller's  toil. 

The  empty  stall  no  herd  afford, 
And  perish  all  the  bleating  race. 

Yet  will  I  triumph  in  the  Lord, — 
The  God  of  my  salvation  praise.

3  Father,  forgive  the  heart  that  clings, 
Thus  trembling,  to  the  things  of  time ; 

And  bid  my  soul,  on  angel  wings, 
Ascend  into  a  purer  clime. 

4  There  shall  no  doubts  disturb  its  trust, 
No  sorrows  dim  celestial  love ; 

But  these  afflictions  of  the  dust, 
Like  shadows  of  the  night,  remove. 

5  E'en  now,  above,  there's  radiant  day, 
While  clouds  and  darkness  brood  below ; 

Then,  Father,  joyful  on  my  way 
To  drink  the  bitter  cup  I  go. 


Ui^y  Sympathetic  love. 

1  O  Love  divine,  that  stooped  to  share 
Our  sharpest  pang,  our  bitterest  tear! 

On  thee  we  cast  each  earthborn  care ; 
We  smile  at  pain  while  thou  art  near. 

2  Though  long  the  weary  way  we  tread. 
And  sorrow  crown  each  lingering  year. 

No  path  we  shun,  no  darkness  dread. 
Our  hearts  still  whispering,  "Thou  art 
near!" 

3  When  drooping  pleasure  turns  to  grief. 
And  trembling  faith  is  changed  to  fear, 

The  murmuring  wind,  the  quivering  leaf, 
Shall  softly  tell  us,  "Thou  art  near!" 

4  On  thee  we  fling  our  burdening  woe, 
O  Love  divine,  forever  dear; 

Content  to  suffer  while  we  know, 
Living  and  dying,  thou  art  near ! 

Oliver  W.  Holmes. 


Oi*  i  Blessing  for  mourners. 

1  Deem  not  that  they  are  blest  alone 
Whose  days  a  peaceful  tenor  keep  ; 

The  anointed  Son  of  God  makes  known 
A  blessing  for  the  eyes  that  weep. 

2  The  light  of  smiles  shall  fill  again 
The  lids  that  overflow  with  tears ; 

And  weaiy  hours  of  woe  and  pain 
Are  promises  of  happier  years. 

3  There  is  a  day  of  sunny  rest 

For  every  dark  and  troubled  night ; 

And  grief  may  bide  an  evening  guest. 

But  joy  shall  come  with  early  light. 

4  Nor  let  the  good  man's  trust  depart, 
Though  life  its  common  gifts  deny, 

Though  with  a  pierced  and  broken  heart. 
And  spurned  of  men,  he  goes  to  die. 

5  For  God  has  marked  each  sorrowing  day. 
And  numbered  every  secret  tear ; 

And  heaven's  long  age  of  bliss  shall  pay 
For  all  his  children  suffer  here. 

William  C.  Bryant. 

O^o  Resignation. 

1  Thy  will  be  done !  I  will  not  fear 

The  fate  provided  by  thy  love ; 
Though  clouds  and  darkness  shroud  me  here, 

I  know  that  all  is  bright  above. 

3  The  stars  of  heaven  are  shining  on. 
Though  these  frail  eyes  are  dimmed  with 
tears ; 

The  hopes  of  earth  indeed  are  gone, 
But  are  not  ours  the  immortal  years  ?

630     It  is  I;  he  not  afraid.— Matt.  14:  27. 

1  When  Power  divine,  in  mortal  form, 
Hushed  with  a  word  the  raging  storm. 
In  soothing  accents  Jesus  said, 

"Lo!  it  is  I ;  be  not  afraid." 

2  So  when  in  silence  nature  sleeps. 
And  lonely  watch  the  mourner  keeps. 
One  thought  shall  every  pang  remove, — 
Trust,  feeble  man,  thy  Maker's  love. 

3  God  calms  the  tumult  and  the  storm; 
He  rules  the  seraph  and  the  worm : 

No  creature  is  by  him  forgot 

Of  those  who  know,  or  know  him  not. 

4  And  when  the  last  dread  hour  is  come. 
And  shuddering  nature  waits  her  doom, 
This  voice  shall  wake  the  pious  dead, 

"  Lo !  it  is  I ;  be  not  afraid." 

Sir  J.  E.  Smitli. 


t3«5X  Meekness  and  patience. 

1  Thou  Lamb  of  God,  thou  Prince  of  peace, 
For  thee  my  thirsty  soul  doth  pine  ; 

My  longing  heart  implores  thy  grace ; 
O  make  me  in  thy  likeness  shine. 

2  When  pain  o'er  my  weak  flesh  prevails, 
With  lamb-like  patience  arm  my  breast ; 

When  grief  my  wounded  soul  assails, 
In  lowly  meekness  may  I  rest. 

3  Close  by  thy  side  still  may  I  keep, 
Howe'er  life's  various  currents  flow; 

With  steadfast  eye  mark  every  step, 
And  follow  thee  where'er  thou  go. 


231 


4  Thou,  Lord,  the  dreadful  fight  hast  won ; 
Alone  thou  hast  the  wine-press  trod ; 

In  me  thy  strengthening  grace  be  shown: 
O  may  I  conquer  through  thy  blood. 

5  So,  when  on  Zion  thou  shalt  stand, 
And  all  heaven's  host  adore  their  King, 

Shall  I  be  found  at  thy  right  hand. 
And,  free  from  pain,  thy  glories  sing. 

C.  p.  Eiehter.    Tr.  by  J.  "Wesley. 

0«J<*        Comfort  in  the  promises. 

1  O  God,  to  thee  we  raise  our  eyes ; 
Calm  resignation  we  implore ; 

O  let  no  murmuring  thought  arise. 
But  humbly  let  us  still  adore. 

2  With  meek  submission  may  we  bear 
Each  needful  cross  thou  shalt  ordain ; 

Nor  think  our  trials  too  severe. 
Nor  dare  thy  justice  to  arraign. 

3  For  though  mysterious  now  thy  ways 
To  erring-  mortals  may  appear, 

Hereafter  we  thy  name  shall  praise, 
For  all  our  keenest  sufferings  here. 

4  Thy  needful  help,  O  God,  afford. 
Nor  let  us  sink  in  deep  despair ; 

Aid  us  to  trust  thy  sacred  word. 

And  find  our  sweetest  comfort  there. 

Charlotte  Bichardson. 

Doxology. 

Praise  God,  from  whom  all  blessings  flow; 
Praise  him,  all  creatures  here  below; 
Praise  him  above,  ye  heavenly  host ; 
Praise  Father,  Son,  and  Holy  Ghost. 

Thomaa  Ken.

1  Your  harps,  ye  trembling  saints, 
Down  from  the  willows  take ; 

Loud  to  the  praise  of  love  divine 
Bid  every  string  awake. 

2  Though  in  a  foreign  land, 
We  are  not  far  from  home ; 

And  nearer  to  our  house  above 
We  every  moment  come. 

3  His  grace  will  to  the  end 
Stronger  and  brighter  shine ; 

Nor  present  things,  nor  things  to  come. 
Shall  quench  the  spark  divine. 

4  When  we  in  darkness  walk, 
Nor  feel  the  heavenly  flame. 

Then  is  the  time  to  trust  our  God, 
And  rest  upon  his  name. 

5  Soon  shall  our  doubts  and  fears 
Subside  at  his  control ; 

His  loving-kindness  shall  break  through 
The  midnight  of  the  soul. 

6  Blest  is  the  man,  O  God, 
That  stays  himself  on  thee; 

Who  wait  for  thy  salvation,  Lord, 
Shall  thy  salvation  see. 
,      AugiistuB  M.  Toplady,  alt.  by  B.  W.  Noel. 

634  With  Christ. 

1  Jesus,  one  word  from  thee 
Fills  my  sad  soul  with  peace: 

My  griefs  are  like  a  tossing  sea ; 
They  hear  thy  voice  and  cease. 

2  Soon  as  thy  pitying  face 
Shone  through  my  stormy  fears. 


The  storm  swept  by,  nor  left  a  trace, 
Save  the  sweet  dew  of  tears. 

3  And  when  thou  call'st  me.  Lord, 
Where  thickest  dangers  be. 

Even  the  waves  a  path  afford ; 
I  walk  the  waves  with  thee. 

4  With  thee  within  my  bark 

I  '11  dare  death's  threatening  tide. 
Nor  count  the  passage  strange  or  dar 
With  Jesus  by  my  side. 

5  Dear  Lord,  thy  faithful  grace 
I  know  and  I  adore: 

What  shall  it  be  to  see  thy  face 
In  heaven,  for  evermore !

1  My  spirit,  on  thy  care. 
Blest  Saviour,  I  recline ; 

Thou  wilt  not  leave  me  to  despair, 
For  thou  art  Love  divine. 

2  In  thee  I  place  my  trust. 
On  thee  I  calmly  rest; 

I  know  thee  good,  I  know  thee  just 
And  count  thy  choice  the  best. 

3  Whate'er  events  betide. 
Thy  will  they  all  perform ; 

Safe  in  thy  breast  my  head  I  hide. 
Nor  fear  the  coming  storm. 

4  Let  good  or  ill  befall, 

It  must  be  good  for  me ; 
Secure  of  having  thee  in  all. 
Of  having  all  in  thee.

1  O  WHAT,  if  we  are  Christ's, 
Is  earthly  shame  or  loss? 

Bright  shall  the  crown  of  glory  be. 
When  we  have  borne  the  cross. 

2  Keen  was  the  trial  once. 
Bitter  the  cup  of  woe. 

When  martyred  saints,  baptized  in  blood, 
Christ's  sufferings  shared  below. 

3  Bright  is  their  glory  now, 
Boundless  their  joy  above, 

Where,  on  the  bosom  of  their  God, 
They  rest  in  perfect  love. 

4  Lord,  may  that  grace  be  ours. 
Like  them  in  faith  to  bear 

All  that  of  sorrow,  grief,  or  pain. 
May  be  our  portion  here. 

5  Enough,  if  thou  at  last 
The  word  of  blessing  give. 

And  let  us  rest  before  thy  throne. 
Where  saints  and  angels  live.

2  In  holy  contemplation. 
We  sweetly  then  pursue 

The  theme  of  God's  salvation, 

And  find  it  ever  new : 
Set  free  from  present  sorrow, 

"We  cheerfully  can  say. 
Let  the  unknown  to-morrow 

Bring  with  it  what  it  may. 

3  It  can  bring-  with  it  nothing 
But  he  will  bear  us  through ; 

Who  gives  the  lilies  clothing. 
Will  clothe  his  people  too : 

Beneath  the  spreading  heavens 
No  creature  but  is  fed ; 

And  he  who  feeds  the  ravens 
Will  give  his  children  bread. 

4  Though  vine  nor  fig-tree  neither 
Their  wonted  fruit  should  bear, 

Though  all  the  fields  should  wither. 
Nor  flocks  nor  herds  be  there ; 

Yet  God  the  same  abiding, 

His  praise  shall  tune  my  voice; 

For  while  in  him  confiding, 
I  cannot  but  rejoice. 

"WiUiam  Cowper.

D4<4       I  will  fcarno  change. 

1  In  heavenly  love  abiding, 

No  change  my  heart  shall  fear; 
And  safe  is  such  confiding, 

For  nothing  changes  here. 
The  storm  may  roar  without  me. 

My  heart  may  low  be  laid, 
But  God  is  round  about  me, 

And  can  I  be  dismayed  ? 

2  Wherever  he  may  guide  me, 
No  want  shall  turn  me  back ; 

My  Shepherd  is  beside  me, 

And  nothing  can  I  lack. 
His  wisdom  ever  waketh, 

His  sight  is  never  dim, 
He  knows  the  way  he  taketh. 

And  I  will  walk  with  him. 

3  Green  pastures  are  before  me. 
Which  yet  I  have  not  seen; 

Bright  skies  will  soon  be  o'er  me, 
Where  darkest  clouds  have  been. 

My  hope  I  cannot  measure. 
My  path  to  life  is  free, 

My  Saviour  has  my  treasure, 
And  he  will  walk  with  me.

b4«J  The  cross  accepted. 

1  Jesus,  I  my  cross  heave  taken, 
All  to  leave,  and  follow  thee ; 

Naked,  poor,  despised,  forsaken, 
Thou,  from  hence,  my  all  shalt  be : 

Perish  every  fond  ambition, 

All  I  've  sought,  and  hoped,  and  known ; 

Yet  how  rich  is  my  condition, 

God  and  heaven  are  still  my  own ! 

2  Let  the  world  despise  and  leave  me, 
They  have  left  my  Saviour,  too ; 

Human  hearts  and  looks  deceive  mc; 

Thou  art  not,  like  man,  untrue; 
And,  while  thou  shalt  smile  upon  me, 

God  of  wisdom,  love,  and  might. 
Foes  may  hate,  and  friends  may  shun  mc ; 

Show  thy  face,  and  all  is  bright. 

3  Go,  then,  earthly  fame  and  treasure ! 
Come,  disaster,  scorn,  and  pain ! 

In  thy  service,  pain  is  pleasure; 

With  thy  favor,  loss  is  gain. 
I  have  called  thee,  "Abba,  Father;" 

I  have  stayed  my  heart  on  thee : 
Storms  may  howl,  and  clouds  may  gather, 

All  must  work  for  good  to  me. 


236 


4  Man  may  trouble  and  distress  me, 
'Twill  but  drive  me  to  thy  breast; 

Life  with  trials  hard  may  press  me, 
Heaven  will  bring  me  sweeter  rest. 

O  'tis  not  in  grief  to  harm  me, 
While  thy  love  is  left  to  me ; 

O  'twere  not  in  joy  to  charm  me, 
Were  that  joy  unmixed  with  thee. 

5  Know,  my  soul,  thy  full  salvation  ; 
Rise  o'er  sin,  and  fear,  and  care ; 

Joy  to  find  in  ever}'  station 
Something  still  to  do  or  bear. 

Think  what  Spirit  dwells  within  thee; 
What  a  Father's  smile  is  thine ; 

What  a  Saviour  died  to  win  thee : 
Child  of  heaven,  shouldst  thou  repine; 

G  Haste  thee  on  from  grace  to  glory. 

Armed   by   faith,    and   winged   by 
prayer ; 
Heaven's  eternal  day's  before  thee, 

God's  own  hand  shall  guide  thee  there. 
Soon  shall  close  thy  earthly  mission. 

Swift  shall  pass  thy  pilgrim  days, 
Hope  shall  change  to  glad  fruition. 

Faith  to  sight,  and  prayer  to  praise. 
Henry  r.  Lyte.

1  Only  waiting,  till  the  shadows 
Are  a  little  longer  grown ; 

Only  waiting,  till  the  glimmer 
Of  the  day's  last  beam  is  flown; 

Till  the  light  of  earth  is  faded 

From  the  hearts  once  full  of  day; 

Till  the  stars  of  heaven  are  breaking 
Through  the  twilight  soft  and  gray. 

2  Only  waiting,  till  the  reapers 
Have  the  last  sheaf  gathered  home; 

For  the  summer-time  is  faded, 

And  the  autumn  winds  have  come. 

Quickly,  reapers,  gather  quickly 
These  last  ripe  hours  of  my  heart, 

For  the  bloom  of  life  is  withered, 
And  I  hasten  to  depart. 

3  Only  waiting,  till  the  shadows 
Are  a  little  longer  grown ; 

Only  waiting,  till  the  glimmer 
Of  the  day's  last  beam  is  flown. 

Then,  from  out  the  gathered  darkness 
Holy,  deathless  stars  shall  rise, 

By  whose  light  my  soul  shall  gladly 
Tread  its  pathway  to  the  skies.

By  thy  sorer  griefs  to  cheer  me, 
By  thy  more  than  mortal  pain. 

.3  By  thy  most  severe  temptation 

In  that  dark  Satanic  hour. 
By  thy  last  mysterious  passion. 

Screen  me  from  the  adverse  power.

By  thy  dreadful  death,  I  pray, 

Write  upon  my  heart  the  pardon ; 
Take  my  sins  and  fears  away.

Through  this  gloomy  vale  of  tears; 

And,  O  Lord,  in  mercy  give  us 
Thy  rich  grace  in  all  our  fears. 

O  refresh  us. 
Traveling  through  this  wilderness. 

2  When  temptation's  darts  assail  us. 
When  in  devious  paths  we  stray. 

Let  thy  goodness  never  fail  us. 
Lead  us  in  thy  perfect  way.

In  the  hour  when  death  draws  near, 
Cuffer  not  our  hearts  to  languish. 
Suffer  not  our  souls  to  fear.

Bid  us  in  thine  arms  to  rest, 

Till,  by  angel-bands  attended. 
We  awake  among  the  blest.

D4  /        Worldly  pleasures  renounced. 

1  Vain  are  all  terrestrial  pleasures ; 
Mixed  with  dross  the  purest  gold  ; 

Seek  we,  then,  for  heavenly  treasures. 
Treasures  never  waxing  old. 

Let  our  best  affections  center 
On  the  things  around  the  throne : 

There  no  thief  can  ever  enter; 

Moth  and  rust  are  there  unknown. 

2  Earthly  joys  no  longer  please  us; 
Here  would  we  renounce  them  all : 

Seek  our  only  rest  in  Jesus, 
Him  our  Lord  and  Master  call. 

Faith,  our  languid  spirits  cheering, 
Points  to  brighter  worlds  above ; 

Bids  us  look  for  his  appearing; 
Bids  us  triumph  in  his  love. 

3  May  our  light  be  always  burning. 
And  our  loins  be  girded  round, 

Waiting  for  our  Lord's  returning. 
Longing  for  the  welcome  sound. 

Thus  the  Christian  life  adorning, 
Never  need  we  be  afraid. 

Should  he  come  at  night  or  morning. 
Early  dawn,  or  evening  shade.

Of  all  that  travel  to  the  sky. 

Come  and  with  us,  e'en  us,  abide. 
Who  would  on  thee  alone  rely ; 
On  thee  alone  our  spirits  stay, 
While  held  in  life's  uneven  way. 

2  Strangers  and  pilgrims  here  belov^■, 
This  earth,  we  know,  is  not  our  place ; 

But  hasten  through  the  vale  of  woe, 

And,  restless  to  behold  thy  face. 
Swift  to  our  heavenly  country  move, 
Our  everlasting  home  above. 

3  We've  no  abiding  city  here, 
But  seek  a  city  out  of  sight; 

Thither  our  steady  course  we  steer, 

Aspiring  to  the  plains  of  light, 
Jerusalem,  the  saints'  abode. 
Whose  founder  is  the  living  God. 

4  Patient  the  appointed  race  to  run, 
This  weary  world  we  cast  behind ; 

From  strength  to  strength  we  travel  on. 

The  New  Jerusalem  to  find : 
Our  labor  this,  our  only  aim. 
To  find  the  New  Jerusalem. 

5  Through  thee,  who  all  our  sins  hast  borne. 
Freely  and  graciously  forgiven, 


With  songs  to  Zion  we  return, 

Contending  for  our  native  heaven ; 
That  palace  of  our  glorious  King, — 
We  find  it  nearer  while  we  sing. 

6  Raised  by  the  breatli  of  love  divine, 
We  urge  our  way  with  strength  renewed ; 

The  church  of  the  first-born  to  join, 
We  travel  to  the  mount  of  God ; 

With  joy  upon  our  heads  arise, 

And  meet  our  Saviour  in  the  skies.

Though  strength,  anf!  health,  and  friends

Though  joys  be  withered  all,  and  dead. 
Though  every  comfort  be  withdrawn  ; 
On  this  my  steadfast  soul  relies, — 
Father,  thy  mercy  never  dies. 

2  Fixed  on  this  ground  will  I  remain, 
Though  my  heart  fail,  and  flesh  decay; 

This  anchor  shall  my  soul  sustain. 

When  earth's  foundations  melt  away; 
Mercy's  full  power  I  then  shall  prove. 
Loved  with  an  everlasting  love.

The  Lord  protects,  forever  near: 
His  blood  for  me  did  once  atone. 
And  still  he  loves  and  guards  his  own. 

2  When,  passing  through  the  watery  deep, 
I  ask  in  faith  his  promised  aid. 

The  waves  an  awful  distance  keep. 

And  shrink  from  my  devoted  head: 
Fearless,  their  violence  I  dare; 
They  cannot  harm,  for  God  is  there! 

3  To  him  mine  eye  of  faith  I  turn. 
And  through  the  fire  pursue  my  way ; 

The  fire  forgets  its  power  to  burn. 

The  lambent  flames  around  me  play: 
I  own  his  power,  accept  the  sign. 
And  shout  to  prove  the  Saviour  mine. 

-1  Still  nigh  me,  O  my  Saviour,  stand. 
And  guard  in  fierce  temptation's  hour; 

Hide  in  the  hollow  of  thy  hand  ; 

Show  forth  in  me  thy  saving  power; 

Still  be  thy  arms  my  sure  defense. 

Nor  earth,  nor  hell,  shall  pluck  me  thence.

1  Come  on,  my  partners  in  distress. 
My  comrades  through  the  wilderness. 

Who  still  your  bodies  feel ; 
Awhile  forget  your  griefs  and  fears, 
And  look  beyond  this  vale  of  tears. 

To  that  celestial  hill. 

2  Beyond  the  bounds  of  time  and  space. 
Look  forward  to  that  heavenly  place. 

The  saints'  secure  abode; 
On  faith's  strong  eagle  pinions  rise. 
And  force  your  passage  to  the  skies, 

And  scale  the  mount  of  God. 

3  Who  suffer  with  our  Master  here, 
We  shall  before  his  face  appear 

And  by  his  side  sit  down  ; 
To  patient  faith  the  prize  is  sure, 
And  all  that  to  the  end  endure 

The  cross,  shall  wear  the  crown. 

4  Thrice  blessed,  bliss-inspiring  hope! 
It  lifts  the  fainting  spirits  up, 

It  brings  to  life  the  dead  : 
Our  conflicts  here  shall  soon  be  past. 
And  you  and  I  ascend  at  last, 

Triumphant  with  our  Head.

We  soon  with  open  face  shall  see ;

Of  everlasting  light.

1  Thy  mercy  heard  my  infant  prayer; 
Thy  love,  with  all  a  mother's  care, 

Sustained  my  childish  days: 
Thy  goodness  watched  my  ripening  youth. 
And  formed  my  heart  to  love  thy  truth. 

And  filled  my  lips  with  praise. 

2  And  now,  in  age  and  grief,  thy  name 
Doth  still  my  languid  heart  inflame, 

And  bow  my  faltering  knee  : 
O  yet  this  bosom  feels  the  fire ; 
This  trembling  hand  and  drooping  lyre 

Have  yet  a  strain  for  thee  ! 

3  Yes;  broken,  tuneless,  still,  O  Lord, 
This  voice,  transported,  shall  record 

Thy  goodness,  tried  so  long; 
Till,  sinking  slow,  with  calm  decay, 
Its  feeble  murmurs  melt  away 

Into  a  seraph's  song.

To  mansions  in  the  skies, 

1  bid  farewell  to  eveiy  fear. 
And  wipe  my  weeping-  eyes. 

2  Should  earth  against  my  soul  engage. 
And  fiery  darts  be  hurled, 

Then  I  can  smile  at  Satan's  rage. 
And  face  a  frowning  world.

Let  storms  of  sorrow  fall. 

So  I  but  safely  reach  my  home, 
My  God,  my  heaven,  my  all.

In  seas  of  heavenly  rest, 

And  not  a  wave  of  trouble  roll

"  Thy  face,  Lord,  will  I  seek."

2  Who  points  the  clouds  their  course, 
Whom  winds  and  seas  obey,

He  shall  prepare  thy  way.

So,  safe,  shalt  thou  go  on  ; 

Fix  on  his  work  thy  steadfast  eye, 
So  shall  thy  work  be  done.

By  self-consuming  care ; 

To  him  commend  thy  cause;  his  ear 
Attends  the  softest  prayer.

Father,  thy  ceaseless  love, 

Sees  all  thy  children's  wants,  and  knows 
What  best  for  each  will  prove.

1  Father,  I  know  that  all  my  life 
Is  portioned  out  for  me; 

And  the  changes  that  are  sure  to  come 

I  do  not  fear  to  see ; 
But  I  ask  thee  for  a  present  mind 

Intent  on  pleasing  thee. 

2  I  ask  thee  for  a  thoughtful  love. 
Through  constant  watching  wise, 

To  meet  the  glad  with  joyful  smiles, 
And  wipe  the  weeping  eyes; 

And  a  heart  at  leisure  from  itself, 
To  soothe  and  sympathize. 

3  I  would  not  have  the  restless  will 
That  hurries  to  and  fro, 

Seeking  for  some  great  thing  to  do, 

Or  secret  thing  to  know; 
I  would  be  treated  as  a  child. 

And  guided  where  I  go. 

4  Wherever  in  the  world  I  am, 
In  whatsoe'er  estate, 

I  have  a  fellowship  with  hearts, 
,     To  keep  and  cultivate  ; 
And  a  work  of  lowly  love  to  do 
For  the  Lord  on  whom  I  wait. 

5  So  I  ask  thee  for  the  daily  strength. 
To  none  that  ask  denied, 

And  a  mind  to  blend  with  outward  life. 

While  keeping  at  thy  side; 
Content  to  fill  a  little  space, 

If  thou  be  glorified.

6  And  if  some  things  I  do  not  ask 

In  my  cup  of  blessing  be, 
I  would  have  my  spirit  filled  the  more 

With  grateful  love  to  thee; 
More  careful,  not  to  serve  thee  much. 

But  to  please  thee  perfectly. 

Anna  Zi.  Waring. 

U  /  D   G^o  not  far  from  me,  0  my  Strength. 

1  Go  not  far  from  me,  O  my  Strength, 
Whom  all  my  times  obey; 

Take  from  me  any  thing  thou  wilt. 

But  go  not  thou  away  ; 
And  let  the  storm  that  does  thy  work 

Deal  with  me  as  it  may. 

2  No  suffering,  while  it  lasts,  is  joy. 
How  blest  soe'er  it  be; 

Yet  may  the  chastened  child  be  glad 

His  Father's  face  to  see ; 
And  O,  it  is  not  hard  to  bear 

What  must  be  borne  in  thee. 

3  Safe  in  thy  sanctifying  grace. 
Almighty  to  restore; 

Borne  onward,  sin  and  death  behind, 

And  love  and  life  before, 
O  let  my  soul  abound  in  hope. 

And  praise  thee  more  and  more  ! 

4  Deep  unto  deep  may  call,  but  I 
W^ith  peaceful  heart  will  say, 

"  Thy  loving-kindness  hath  a  charge 

No  waves  can  take  away ; " 
And  let  the  storm  that  speeds  me  home. 

Deal  with  me  as  it  may.

Who  braved  a  tyrant's  ire, 

Nobly  scorned  to  bow  the  knee. 
And  walked,  unhurt,  in  fire;

Arm  me  in  this  fiery  hour; 

Stand,  O  Son  of  man,  confessed 
In  all  thy  saving  power !

My  soul  disdains  to  fear; 

Sin  and  Satan  I  defy, 

Still  impotently  near ; 
Earth  and  hell  their  wars  may  wage ; 

Calm  I  mark  their  vain  design, 
Smile  to  see  them  idly  rage 

Against  a  child  of  thine.

For  O  the  storm  is  high ! 
Save  me  from  the  furious  blast; 

A  covert  from  the  tempest  be: 
Hide  me,  Jesus,  till  o'erpast 

The  storm  of  sin  I  see.

To  a  dry,  barren  place, 

O  descend  on  me,  and  bring 
Thy  sweet,  refreshing  grace; 

O'er  a  parched  and  weary  land. 
As  a  great  rock  extends  its  shade. 

Hide  me,  Saviour,  with  thy  hand. 
And  screen  my  naked  head. 

3  In  the  time  of  my  distress 
Thou  hast  my  succor  been; 

In  my  utter  hel]jlessness, 

Restraining  me  from  sin  ; 
O  how  swiftly  didst  thou  move 

To  save  me  in  the  trying  hour ! 
Still  protect  me  with  thy  love, 

And  shield  me  with  thy  power.

Lord, 
Is  laid  for  your  faith  in  his  excellent  word  ! 
What  more  can  he  say,  than  to  you  he  hath 

said, 
To  you,  who  for  refuge  to  Jesus  have  fled  ? 

2  "  Fear  not,  I  am  with  thee,  O  be  not  dis- 

mayed. 
For  I  am  thy  God,  I  will  still  give  thee  aid ; 
I  '11  strengthen  thee,  help  thee,  and  cause 

thee  to  stand, 
Upheld  by  my  gracious,  omnipotent  hand. 

3  "  When  through  the  deep  waters  I  call 

thee  to  go. 
The  rivers  of  sorrow  shall  not  overflow ; 
For  I  will  be  with  thee  thy  trials  to  bless, 
And  sanctify  to  thee  thy  deepest  distress.

4  "  When  through  fiery  trials  thy  pathway 

shall  lie. 
My  grace,  all-sufficient,  shall  be  thy  supply,' 
The  flame  shall  not  hurt  thee ;  I  only  design 
Thy  dross  to  consume,  and  thy  gold  to  refine. 

5  "E'en  down  to  old    age  all  my  people 

shall  prove 
My  sovereign,  eternal,  unchangeable  love  ; 
And  when  hoary  hairs  shall  their  temples 

adorn. 
Like  lambs  they  shall  still  in  my  bosom  be 

borne. 

6  "  The  soul  that  on  Jesus  hath  leaned  for 

repose, 
I  will  not,  I  will  not  desert  to  his  foes; 
That  soul,  though  all  hell  should  endeavor 

to  shake, 
I'll  never,  no  never,  no  never  forsake ! "

1  From  every  stormy  wind  that  blows, 
P'rom  every  swelling  tide  of  woes, 
There  is  a  calm,  a  sure  retreat: 

'Tis  found  beneath  the  mercy-seat. 

2  There  is  a  place  where  Jesus  sheds 
The  oil  of  gladness  on  our  heads ; 

A  place  than  all  besides  more  sweet: 
It  is  the  blood-bought  mercy-seat. 

3  There  is  a  scene  where  spirits  blend. 
Where  friend  holds  fellowship  with  friend : 
Though  sundered  far,  by  faith  they  meet 
Around  one  common  mercy-seat. 

4  Ah !  whither  could  we  flee  for  aid, 
When  tempted,  desolate,  dismayed  ; 
Or  how  the  hosts  of  hell  defeat. 
Had  suffering  saints  no  mercy-seat.'' 

5  There,  there  on  eagle  wings  we  soar. 
And  sin  and  sense  molest  no  more; 
And  heaven  comes  down  our  souls  to  greet, 
While  glory  crowns  the  mercy-seat

And  fix  my  frail,  inconstant  heart ; 
Henceforth  my  chief  desire  shall  be 
To  dedicate  myself  to  thee. 

2  VVhate'er  pursuits  my  time  employ, 
One  thought  shall  fill  my  soul  with  joy: 
That  silent,  secret  thought  shall  be. 
That  all  my  hopes  are  fixed  on  thee. 

8  Thy  glorious  eye  pervadeth  space ; 
Thy  presence,  Lord,  fills  every  place ;

And  wheresoe'er  my  lot  may  be, 
Still  shall  my  spirit  cleave  to  thee. 

4  Renouncing  every  worldly  thing, 
And  safe  beneath  thy  spreading  wing, 
My  sweetest  thought  henceforth  shall  be. 
That  all  I  want  I  find  in  thee.

If  with  me  now  thy  Spirit  stays, 

And,  hovering,  hides  me  in  his  wings;.

Nor  for  a  moment's  space  depart; 

Evil  and  danger  turn  away, 

And  keep  till  he  renews  my  heart.

This  robe  of  flesh  I  '11  drop,  and  rise.

DoVf  Dcsir/n  of  prayer. 

1  Prayer  is  appointed  to  convey 

The  blessings  God  designs  to  give : 
Long  as  they  live  should  Christians  pray; 

They  learn  to  pray  when  first  they  live. 


255 


2  If  pain  afflict,  or  wrongs  oppress; 
If  cares  distract,  or  fears  dismay; 

If  guilt  deject,  or  sin  distress  ; 

In  every  case,  still  watch  and  pray. 

3  'Tis  prayer  supports  the  soul  that 's  weak. 
Though  thought  be  broken,    language 

lame ; 
Pray,  if  thou  canst  or  canst  not  speak; 
But  pray  with  faith  in  Jesus'  name. 

4  Depend  on  him;  thou  canst  not  fail; 
Make  all  thy  wants  and  wishes  known; 

Fear  not ;  his  merits  must  prevail : 
Ask  but  in  faith,  it  shall  be  done. 

Joseph  Hart. 

Dt/U  Blessings  of  prayer. 

1  What  various  hindrances  we  meet 
In  coming  to  a  mercy-seat ! 

Yet  who  that  knows  the  worth  of  prayer, 
But  wishes  to  be  often  there.' 

2  Prayer  makes  the  darkened  clouds  with- 

draw ; 
Prayer  climbs  the  ladder  Jacob  saw; 
Gives  exercise  to  faith  and  love; 
Brings  every  blessing  from  above. 

3  Restraining  prayer,  we  cease  to  fight; 
Prayer  keeps  the  Christian's  armor  bright; 
And  Satan  trembles  when  he  sees 

The  weakest  saint  upon  his  knees. 

4  Were  half  the  breath  that 's  vainly  spent. 
To  heaven  in  supplication  sent, 

Our  cheerful  song  would  oftener  be, 

"  Hear  what  the  Lord  has  done  for  me." 

William  Cowper.

D  y  X         The  joy  of  loving  hearts. 

1  Jesus,  thou  Joy  of  loving  hearts  ! 

Thou  Fount  of  Hfe !  thou  Light  of  men ! 
From  the  best  bliss  that  earth  imparts, 

We  turn  unfilled  to  thee  again. 

3  Thy  truth  unchanged  hath  ever  stood  ; 

Thou  savest  those  that  on  thee  call ; 
To  them  that  seek  thee,  thou  art  good, 

To  them  that  find  thee,  all  in  all. 

3  We  taste  thee.O  thou  Living  Bread, 
And  long  to  feast  upon  thee  still ; 

We  drink  of  thee,  the  Fountain  Head, 
And  thirst  our  souls  from  thee  to  fill ! 

4  Our  restless  spirits  yearn  for  thee, 
Where'er  our  changeful  lot  is  cast ; 

Glad,  when  thy  gracious  smile  we  see. 
Blest,  when  our  faith  can  hold  thee  fast. 

5  O  Jesus,  ever  with  us  stay ; 

Make  all  our  moments  calm  and  bright; 
Chase  the  dark  night  of  sin  away, 
Shed  o'er  the  world  thy  holy  light ! 

Bernard  of  Clairvaux.    Tr.  by  E..  Palmer. 

Ot/-*  God'' s  praises  crown  eternity. 

1  God  of  my  life,  through  all  my  days 
My  grateful  powers  shall  sound  thy  praise; 
The  song  shall  wake  with  opening  light. 
And  warble  to  the  silent  night. 

2  When  anxious  cares  would  break  my  rest. 
And  griefs  would  tear  my  throbbing  breast. 
Thy  tuneful  praises,  raised  on  high, 

Shall  check  the  murmur  and  the  sigh. 

3  When  death  o'er  nature  shall  prevail, 
And  all  my  powers  of  language  fail. 


256 


Joy  through  my  swimming  eyes  shall  break. 
And  mean  the  thanks  I  cannot  speak. 

4  But  O,  when  that  last  conflict's  o'er, 
And  I  am  chained  to  earth  no  more. 
With  what  glad  accents  shall  I  rise 
To  join  the  music  of  the  skies ! 

5  Soon  shall  I  learn  the  exalted  strains 
Which  echo  o'er  the  heavenly  plains; 
And  emulate,  with  joy  unknown, 

The  glowing  seraphs  round  thy  throne. 

6  The  cheerful  tribute  will  I  give. 
Long  as  a  deathless  soul  can  live : 
A  work  so  sweet,  a  theme  so  high. 
Demands  and  crowns  eternity  ! 

Philip  Doddridge. 

OV/O    His  loving  kindness  better  than  life. 

1  O  God,  thou  art  my  God  alone; 
Early  to  thee  my  soul  shall  cry ; 

A  pilgrim  in  a  land  unknown, 

A  thirsty  land,  whose  springs  are  dry. 

2  Thee,  in  the  watches  of  the  night. 
When  I  remember  on  my  bed, 

Thy  presence  makes  the  darkness  light; 
Thy  guardian  wings  are  I'ound  my  head 

3  Better  than  life  itself,  thy  love ; 
Dearer  than  all  beside  to  me; 

For  whom  have  I  in  heaven  above. 

Or  what  on  earth,  compared  with  thee  ? 

4  Praise  with  my  heart,  my  mind,  my  voice, 
For  all  thy  mercy  I  will  give ; 

My  soul  shall  still  in  God  rejoice. 

My  tongue  shall  bless  thee  while  I  live.

I  shall  be  satisfied,  when  I  awake, 
Thy  likeness. 

1  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  my  Life,  my  Light, 
My  strength  by  day,  my  trust  by  night, 
On  earth  I  'm  but  a  passing  guest, 

And  sorely  with  my  sins  oppressed. 

2  O  let  thy  sufferings  give  me  power 
To  meet  the  last  and  darkest  hour. 
Thy  cross,  the  staff  whereon  I  lean, 

My  couch,  the  grave  w^here  thou  hast  been. 

3  Since  thou  hast  died,  the  pure,  the  just, 
I  take  my  homeward  way  in  trust ; 

The  gates  of  heaven.  Lord,  open  wide. 
When  here  I  may  no  more  abide. 

4  And  when  the  last  great  day  is  come, 
And  thou,  our  Judge,  shalt  speak  the  doom. 
Let  me  with  joy  behold  the  light. 

And  set  me  then  upon  thy  right. 

5  Renew  this  wasted  flesh  of  mine. 
That  like  the  sun  it  there  may  shine 
Among  the  angels  pure  and  bright. 
Yea,  like  thyself,  in  glorious  light. 

C  Ah,  then  I  have  my  heart's  desire. 
When,  singing  with  the  angels'  choir, 
Among  the  ransomed  of  thy  grace. 
Forever  I  behold  thy  face! 

II.  Behemb.    Tr.  by  Miss  C.  Winkvrorth. 

0  «J  O  The  fairest  of  the  fair. 

1  Though  all  the  world  my  choice  deride. 
Yet  Jesus  shall  my  portion  be ; 

For  I  am  pleased  with  none  beside ; 
The  fairest  of  the  fair  is  he.

2  Sweet  is  the  vision  of  thy  face, 
And  kindness  o'er  thy  lips  is  shed; 

Lovely  art  thou,  and  full  of  grace. 
And  glory  beams  around  thy  head. 

3  Thy  suffei'ings  I  embrace  with  thee. 
Thy  poverty  and  shameful  cross  ; 

The  pleasures  of  the  world  I  flee, 
And  deem  its  treasures  only  dross. 

4  Be  daily  dearer  to  my  heart, 
And  ever  let  me  feel  thee  near ; 

Then  willingly  with  all  I  'd  part. 
Nor  count  it  worthy  of  a  tear. 

Gerhard  Tersteegea. 

v3yO     At  home  with  God  anywhere. 
1  My  Lord,  how  full  of  sweet  content, 
I  pass  my  years  of  banishment ! 
Where'er  I  dwell,  I  dwell  with  thee. 
In  heaven,  in  earth,  or  on  the  sea. 
To  me  remains  nor  place  nor  time; 
My  country  is  in  every  clime: 

1  can  be  calm  and  free  from  care 
On  any  shore,  since  God  is  there. 

2  While  place  we  seek,  or  place  we  shuR, 
The  soul  finds  happiness  in  none; 

But  with  a  God  to  guide  our  way, 
'Tis  equal  joy,  to  go  or  stay. 
Could  I  be  cast  where  thou  art  not, 
That  were  indeed  a  dreadful  lot ; 
But  regions  none  remote  I  call, 
Secure  of  finding  God  in  all.

In  mercy  to  me  speak; 

In  thee,  my  Priest,  will  I  rejoice, 
And  thy  salvation  seek.

While  in  this  world  I  stay;

When  all  things  else  decay.

With  all  thy  favored  throng, 

Then  will  I  sing  more  sweet,  more  loud, 
And  Christ  shall  be  my  song.

Thanks  to  thy  name  for  meaner  things ; 

But  they  are  not  my  God. 
4  How  vain  a  toy  is  glittering  wealth. 

If  once  compared  to  thee !

Or  all  my  friends  to  me?

And  called  the  stars  my  own,

And  grasp  in  all  the  shore  ;

And  I  desire  no  more.

1  Jesus,  the  very  thought  of  thee 
With  sweetness  fills  the  breast ; 

But  sweeter  far  thy  face  to  see, 
And  in  thy  presence  rest. 

2  No  voice  can  sing,  no  heart  can  frame. 
Nor  can  the  memory  find 

A  sweeter  sound  than  Jesus'  name. 
The  Saviour  of  mankind. 

3  O  Hope  of  every  contrite  heart, 
O  Joy  of  all  the  meek, 

To  those  who  ask,  how  kind  thou  art ! 
How  good  to  those  who  seek  ! 

4  But  what  to  those  who  find .''     Ah,  this 
Nor  tongue  nor  pen  can  show : 

The  love  of  Jesus,  what  it  is, 
None  but  his  loved  ones  know. 

5  Jesus,  our  only  joy  be  thou. 
As  thou  our  prize  wilt  be  ; 

In  thee  be  all  our  glory  now. 
And  through  eternity.

Thou  sweetness  most  ineffable. 
In  whom  all  joys  are  found ! 

2  When  once  thou  visitest  the  heart. 
Then  truth  begins  to  shine. 

Then  earthly  vanities  depart, 
Then  kindles  love  divine.

3  O  Jesus,  Light  of  all  below. 
Thou  Fount  of  living  fire. 

Surpassing  all  the  joys  we  know. 
And  all  we  can  desire  ! 

4  Jesus,  may  all  confess  thy  name. 
Thy  wondrous  love  adore. 

And,  seeking  thee,  themselves  inflame 
To  seek  thee  more  and  more. 

5  Thee,  Jesus,  may  our  voices  bless ; 
Thee  may  we  love  alone ; 

And  ever  in  our  lives  express 
The  image  of  thine  own.

Inflaming  it  with  love.

Which  unto  thee  we  send ; 

To  thee  our  inmost  spirit  cries, 
To  thee  our  prayers  ascend.

Shine,  Lord,  on  every  heart; 

Dispel  the  darkness  of  our  night.

My  spirit  leaps  with  inward  Joy ; 
I  feel  the  sacred  flame. 

2  My  passions  hold  a  pleasing-  reign. 
When  love  inspires  my  breast, — 

Love,  the  divinest  of  the  train. 
The  sovereign  of  the  rest. 

3  This  is  the  grace  must  live  and  sing, 
When  faith  and  hope  shall  cease, 

And  sound  from  every  joyful  string 
Through  all  the  realms  of  bliss. 

4  Swift  I  ascend  the  heavenly  place, 
And  hasten  to  my  home ; 

I  leap  to  meet  thy  kind  embrace ; 
I  come,  O  Lord,  I  come. 

5  Sink  down,  ye  separating  hills ! 
Let  sin  and  death  remove; 

'Tis  love  that  drives  my  chariot  wheels, 
And  death  must  yield  to  love.

The  glory  of  my  brightest  days. 
And  comfort  of  my  nights ! 

2  In  darkest  shades,  if  thou  appear, 
My  dawning  is  begun ; 

Thou  art  my  soul's  bright  morning  star. 
And  thou  my  rising  sun. 


260 


3  The  opening  heavens  around  me  shine 
With  beams  of  sacred  bliss, 

If  Jesus  shows  his  mercy  mine, 
And  whispers  I  am  his. 

4  My  soul  would  leave  this  heavy  clay 
At  that  transporting  word, 

Run  up  with  joy  the  shining  way. 
To  see  and  praise  my  Lord. 

5  Fearless  of  hell  and  ghastly  death, 
I  'd  break  through  every  foe ; 

The  wings  of  love  and  arms  of  faith 
Would  bear  me  conqueror  through. 

Isaac  Watta. 

/UO  Perpetual  praise. 

1  Yes,  I  will  bless  thee,  O  my  God, 
Through  all  my  fleeting  days ; 

And  to  eternity  prolong 

Thy  vast,  thy  boundless  praise. 

2  Nor  shall  my  tongue  alone  proclaim 
The  honors  of  my  God  ; 

My  life,  with  all  its  active  powers. 
Shall  spread  thy  praise  abroad. 

3  Nor  will  I  cease  thy  praise  to  sing 
When  death  shall  close  mine  eyes; 

My  thoughts  shall  then  to  nobler  heights 
And  sweeter  raptures  rise. 

4  Then  shall  my  lips,  in  endless  praise. 
Their  grateful  tribute  pay ; 

The  theme  demands  an  angel's  tongue, 
And  an  eternal  day.

i  UO  Prayer. 

1  Prayer  is  the  breath  of  God  in  man, 
Returning  whence  it  came ; 

Love  is  the  sacred  fire  within, 
And  prayer  the  rising  flame. 

2  It  gives  the  burdened  spirit  ease, 
And  soothes  the  troubled  breast ; 

Yields  comfort  to  the  mourners  here, 
And  to  the  weary  rest. 

3  When  God  inclines  the  heart  to  pray, 
He  hath  an  ear  to  hear ; 

To  him  there's  music  in  a  groan. 
And  beauty  in  a  tear. 

4  The  humble  suppliant  cannot  fail 
To  have  his  wants  supplied. 

Since  He  for  sinners  intercedes. 
Who  once  for  sinners  died. 

Senjamin  Bcddome. 

iyj  i        Prayer  moves  Omnipotence. 

1  There  is  an  eye  that  never  sleeps 
Beneath  the  wing  of  night ; 

There  is  an  ear  that  never  shuts. 
When  sink  thebeams  of  light. 

2  There  is  an  arm  that  never  tires, 
When  human  strength  gives  way ; 

There  is  a  love  that  never  fails, 
When  earthly  loves  decay. 

3  That  eye  is  fixed  on  seraph  throngs  ; 
That  arm  upholds  the  sky ; 

That  ear  is  filled  with  angel  songs ; 
That  love  is  throned  on  high. 

4  But   there 's   a   power  which  man   can 

wield, 
When  mortal  aid  is  vain, 


261 


That  eye,  that  arm,  that  love  to  reach. 
That  listening  ear  to  gain. 

5  That  power  is  prayer,  which  soars  on 
high, 
Through  Jesus,  to  the  throne, 
And  moves   the  hand  which  moves  the 
world. 
To  bring  salvation  down. 

John  A.  Wallace. 

708  The  two  worlds. 

1  Unveil,  O  Lord,  and  on  us  shine 
In  glory  and  in  grace ; 

The  gaudy  world  grows  pale  before 
The  beauty  of  thy  face. 

2  Till  thou  art  seen,  it  seems  to  be 
A  sort  of  fairy  ground. 

Where  suns  unsetting  light  the  sky, 
And  flowers  and  fruits  abound. 

3  But  when  thy  keener,  purer  beam 
Is  poured  upon  our  sight. 

It  loses  all  its  power  to  charm. 
And  what  was  day  is  night. 

4  Its  noblest  toils  are  then  the  scourge 
Which  made  thy  blood  to  flow ; 

Its  joys  are  but  the  treacherous  thorns 
Which  circled  round  thy  brow. 

5  And  thus,  when  we  renounce  for  thee 
Its  restless  aims  and  fears, 

The  tender  memories  of  the  past. 
The  hopes  of  coming  years,-^ 

6  Poor  is  our  sacrifice,  whose  eyes 
Are  lighted  from  above; 

We  offer  what  we  cannot  keep. 
What  we  have  ceased  to  love.

Prayer  the  sublimest  strains  that  reach 
The  Majesty  on  high. 

4  Prayer  is  the  contrite  sinner's  voice, 
Returning  from  his  ways ; 

While  angels  in  their  songs  rejoice 
And  erf,  "Behold,  he  prays!" 

5  Prayer  is  the  Christian's  vital  breath. 
The  Christian's  native  air. 

His  watchword  at  the  gates  of  death ; 
He  enters  heaven  with  prayer. 

6  O  Thou,  by  whom  we  come  to  God, 
The  Life,  the  Truth,  the  Way; 

The  path  of  prayer  thyself  hast  trod  : 
Lord,  teach  us  how  to  pray ! 

James  IVIontgomery . 

1 1.1.  Communion  with  God. 

1  Sweet  is  the  prayer  whose  holy  stream 
In  earnest  pleading  flows  ; 

Devotion  dwells  upon  the  theme. 
And  warm  and  warmer  glows. 

2  Faith  grasps  the  blessing  she  desires , 
Hope  points  the  upward  gaze  ; 

And  Love,  celestial  Love,  inspires 
The  eloquence  of  praise. 

3  But  sweeter  far  the  still  small  voice. 
Unheard  by  human  ear. 

When  God  has  made  the  heart  rejoice. 
And  dried  the  bitter  tear. 

4  No  accents  flow,  no  words  ascend  ; 
All  utterance  faileth  there ; 

But  God  himself  doth  comprehend 
And  answer  silent  prayer. 


i\j\}  Even  ing — solitude. 

1  I  LOVE  to  Steal  awhile  away 
From  every  cumbering  care, 

And  spend  the  hours  of  setting  day 
In  humble,  grateful  prayer. 

2  I  love  in  solitude  to  shed 
The  penitential  tear. 

And  all  his  promises  to  plead 
Where  none  but  God  can  hear. 

3  I  love  to  think  on  mercies  past, 
And  future  good  implore. 

And  all  my  cares  and  sorrows  cast 
On  him  whom  I  adore. 

4  I  love  by  faith  to  take  a  view 
Of  brighter  scenes  in  heaven ; 

The  prospect  doth  my  strength  renew, 
While  here  by  tempests  driven. 

5  Thus,  when  life's  toilsome  day  is  o'er. 
May  its  departing  ray 

Be  calm  as  this  impressive  hour, 
And  lead  to  endless  day. 

Mrs.  Phoebe  H.  Brown. 

7J.U  WJiat  is  prayer? 

1  Prayer  is  the  soul's  sincere  desire. 
Uttered  or  unexpressed  ; 

The  motion  of  a  hidden  fire 
That  trembles  in  the  breast. 

2  Prayer  is  the  burden  of  a  sigh. 
The  falling  of  a  tear, 

The  upward  glancing  of  an  eye. 
When  none  but  God  is  near. 

3  Prayer  is  the  simplest  form  of  speech 
That  infant  lips  can  try ;

THE  CHRISTIAN— PRAYER  AND  PRAISE. 


i  l-ii  Talking  tcith  God. 

1  Talk  with  us,  Lord,  thyself  reveal, 
While  here  o'er  earth  we  rove ; 

Speak  to  our  hearts,  and  let  us  feel 
The  kindling  of  thy  love. 

2  With  thee  conversing,  we  forget 
All  time,  and  toil,  and  care ; 

Labor  is  rest,  and  pain  is  sweet, 
If  thou,  my  God,  art  here. 

3  Here,  then,  my  God,  vouchsafe  to  stay. 
And  bid  my  heart  rejoice ; 

My  bounding  heart  shall  own  thy  sway, 
And  echo  to  thy  voice. 

4  Thou  callest  me  to  seek  thy  face, — 
'Tis  all  I  wish  to  seek ; 

To  attend  the  whispers  of  thy  grace, 
And  hear  thee  inly  speak. 

5  Let  this  my  every  hour  employ. 
Till  I  thy  glory  see ; 

Enter  into  my  Alaster's  joy, 
And  find  my  heaven  in  thee. 

Charles  Wesley. 

*  .l-O       Retirement  and  meditation. 

1  Far  from  the  world,  O  Lord,  I  flee, 
From  strife  and  tumult  far  ; 

From  scenes  where  Satan  wages  still 
His  most  successful  war. 

2  The  calm  retreat,  the  silent  shade. 
With  prayer  and  praise  agree. 

And  seem  by  thy  sweet  bounty  made 
For  those  Avho  follow  thee. 

3  There,  if  thy  Spirit  touch  the  soul, 
And  grace  her  mean  abode, 

0  with  what  peace,  and  joy,  and  love, 
Does  she  commune  with  God ! 

4  Author  and  Guardian  of  my  life. 
Sweet  Source  of  light  divine, 

And  all  harmonious  names  in  one. 
My  Saviour !  thou  art  mine ! 

5  The  thanks  I  owe  thee,  and  the  love, 
A  boundless,  endless  store, 

Shall  echo  through  the  realms  above 
When  time  shall  be  no  more. 

■WiUiam  Cowper. 

4x4       Wliom  having  not  seen,  ye  love. 
1  Peter  1:  8. 

1  Jesus,  these  eyes  have  never  seen 
That  radiant  form  of  thine ; 

The  veil  of  sense  hangs  dark  between 
Thy  blessed  face  and  mine. 

2  I  see  thee  not,  I  hear  thee  not, 
Yet  art  thou  oft  with  me  ; 


263 


And  earth  hath  ne'er  so  dear  a  spot 
As 'where  I  meet  with  thee. 

3  Like  some  bright  dream  that  comes  un 

sought 
When  slumbers  o'er  me  roll. 
Thine  image  ever  fills  my  thought, 
And  charms  my  ravished  soul. 

4  Yet  though  I  have  not  seen,  and  still 
Must  rest  in  faith  alone, 

I  love  thee,  dearest  Lord,  and  will. 
Unseen,  but  not  unknown. 

5  When  death  these  mortal  eyes  shall  seal. 
And  still  this  throbbing  heart. 

The  rending  veil  shall  thee  reveal, 
All-glorious  as  thou  art. 

Bay  Palmer. 

i  Li)  Pray  ivithout  ceasing. 

1  Shepherd  Divine,  our  wants  relieve 
In  this  our  evil  day; 

To  all  thy  tempted  followers  give 
The  power  to  watch  and  pray. 

2  Long  as  our  fiery  trials  last, 
Long  as  the  cross  we  bear, 

0  let  our  souls  on  thee  be  cast 
In  never-ceasing  prayer. 

3  Till  thou  thy  perfect  love  impart. 
Till  thou  thyself  bestow. 

Be  this  the  cry  of  every  heart, 
•'I  will  not  let  thee  go; 

4  "  I  will  not  let  thee  go,  unless 
Thou  tell  thy  name  to  me. 

With  all  thy  great  salvation  bless, 
And  make  me  all  like  thee. 

5  "Then  let  me  on  the  mountain-top 
Behold  thy  open  face. 

Where  faith  in  sight  is  swallowed  up. 
And  prayer  in  endless  praise." 

diaries  Wesley. 

716  The  Lord's  Prayer. 

1  Our  Father,  God,  who  art  in  heaven, 
All  hallowed  be  thy  name ; 

Thy  kingdom  come ;  thy  will  be  done 
In  heaven  and  earth  the  same. 

2  Give  us  this  day  our  daily  bread ; 
And  as  we  those  forgive 

Who  sin  against  us,  so  may  we 
Forgiving  grace  receive. 

3  Into  temptation  lead  us  not; 
From  evil  set  us  free; 

And  thine  the  kingdom,  thine  the  power 
And  glory,  ever  be.

i  -I  O         Encouragements  to  pray, 

1  Come,  my  soul,  thy  suit  prepare, 
Jesus  loves  to  answer  prayer; 

He  himself  invites  thee  near, 
Bids  thee  ask  him,  waits  to  hear. 

2  Lord,  I  come  to  thee  for  rest ; 
Take  possession  of  my  breast ; 

There  thy  blood-bought  right  maintain. 
And  without  a  rival  reign. 

3  While  I  am  a  pilgrim  here. 
Let  thy  love  my  spirit  cheer; 

As  my  guide,  my  guard,  my  friend. 
Lead  me  to  my  journeys  end. 

4  Show  me  what  I  have  to  do ; 
Every  hour  my  strength  renew  ; 
Let  me  live  a  life  of  faith. 

Let  me  die  thy  people's  death.

7.40         The  pilgrhns'  song. 

1  Children  of  the  heavenly  King, 
As  we  journey  let  us  sing ; 

Sing  our  Saviour's  worthy  praise, 
Glorious  in  his  works  and  ways. 

2  We  are  traveling  home  to  God, 
In  the  way  our  fathers  trod  ; 
They  are  happy  now,  and  we 
Soon  their  happiness  shall  see. 

3  O  ye  banished  seed,  be  glad ; 
Christ  our  Advocate  is  made: 
Us  to  save  our  flesh  assumes. 
Brother  to  our  souls  becomes. 

4  Lift  your  eyes,  ye  sons  of  light ; 
Zion's  city  is  in  sight ; 

There  our  endless  home  shall  be. 
There  our  Lord  we  soon  shall  see. 

5  Fear  not,  brethren,  joyful  stand 
On  the  borders  of  our  land  ; 
Jesus  Christ,  our  Father's  Son, 
Bids  us  undismayed  go  on. 

6  Lord,  obediently  we'll  go, 
Gladly  leaving  all  below: 
Only  thou  our  Leader  be, 
And  we  still  will  follow  the?. 

Jolin  Cenniek. 

i  i^L     Christ,  the  source  of  every  Messing. 

1  Christ,  of  all  my  hopes  tiie  ground. 
Christ,  the  spring  of  all  my  jo^, 

Still  in  thee  may  I  be  found. 

Still  for  thee  my  powers  employ. 

2  Fountain  of  o'erflowing  grace. 
Freely  from  thy  fullness  give  ; 

Till  I  close  my  earthly  race, 
May  I  prove  it  "  Christ  to  live  ! " 


3  Firmly  trusting  in  thy  blood. 
Nothing  shall  my  heart  confound  ; 

Safely  I  shall  pass  the  flood, 

Safely  reach  Immanuel's  ground. 

4  When  I  touch  the  blessed  shore. 
Back  the  closing  waves  shall  roll. 

Death's  dark  stream  shall  nevermore 
Part  from  thee  my  ravished  soul. 

5  Thus,  O  thus  an  entrance  give 
To  the  land  of  cloudless  sky; 

Having  known  it  "  Christ  to  live," 
Let  me  know  it  "Gain  to  die." 

Ealph  Wardlav» 

i  4,idi     For  humility  and  protection. 

1  God  of  love,  who  hearest  prayer. 
Kindly  for  thy  people  care. 

Who  on  thee  alone  depend  : 
Love  us,  save  us  to  the  end. 

2  Save  us,  in  the  prosperous  hour. 
From  the  flattering  tempter's  powei. 
From  his  unsuspected  wiles. 

From  the  world's  pernicious  smiles. 

3  Save  us  from  the  great  and  wise. 
Till  they  sink  in  their  own  eyes, 
Tamely  to  thy  yoke  submit, 

Lay  their  honor  at  thy  feet. 

4  Never  let  the  world  break  m , 
Fix  a  mighty  gulf  between  ; 
Keep  us  little  and  unknown. 
Prized  and  loved  by  God  alone, 

5  Let  us  still  to  thee  look  up. 

Thee,  thy  Israel's  strength  and  hope. 
Nothing  know,  or  seek,  beside 
Jesus,  and  him  crucified. 

Charles  Wesley.

Treachery  lurked  within  thy  fold ;

By  thine  agony  of  prayer  ; 

By  the  cross,  the  nail,  the  thorn,

By  the  gloom  that  veiled  the  skies 
O'er  the  dreadful  sacrifice  ; 
Listen  to  our  humble  cry, 
Hear  our  solemn  litany !

By  the  sad  sepulchral  stone ; 
By  the  vault  whose  dark  abode 
Held  in  vain  the  rising  God  ;

Sought  peace  and  rest ; 
Now  thee  alone  I  seek,

More  love,  O  Christ,  to  thee, 

More  love  to  thee !

This  still  its  prayer  shall  be. 
More  love,  O  Christ,  to  thee, 

More  love  to  thee  !

/i^b     Hitherto  hath  the  Lord  helped  us. 
1  Sam.  7:  12. 

1  Come,  thou  Fount  of  every  blessing, 
Tune  my  heart  to  sing  thy  grace ; 

Streams  of  mercy,  never  ceasing. 
Call  for  songs  of  loudest  praise. 

Teach  me  some  melodious  sonnet, 
Sung  by  flaming  tongues  above ; 

Praise  the  mount — I  'm  fixed  upon  it — 
Mount  of  thy  redeeming  love  ! 

2  Here  I'll  raise  mine  Ebenezer; 
Hither  by  thy  help  I  'm  come ; 

And  I  hope,  by  thy  good  pleasure, 

Safely  to  arrive  at  home. 
Jesus  sought  me  when  a  stranger. 

Wandering  from  the  fold  of  God ; 
He,  to  rescue  me  from  danger, 

Interposed  his  precious  blood. 

3  O  to  grace  how  great  a  debtor 
Daily  I  'm  constrained  to  be ! 

Let  thy  goodness,  like  a  fetter, 
Bind  my  wandering  heart  to  thee : 

Prone  to  wander,  Lord,  I  feel  it, 
Prone  to  leave  the  God  I  love  ; 

Here's  my  heart,  O  take  and  seal  it ; 
Seal  it  for  thy  courts  above. 

Bobert  Bobinaon. 


i  ■4)  i         The  harmonious  chorus. 

1  Here  on  earth,  where  foes  surround  us. 
While  our  trembling  souls  within 

Feel  the  fetters  which  have  bound  us, 

Feel  the  burden  of  our  sin ; 
Lord,  on  thee  alone  relying, 

Strength  we  crave  to  burst  our  chain. 
Ever  pleading,  ever  crying, 

"  Lord,  for  us  the  Lamb  was  slain." 

2  In  those  high  and  holy  regions 
Where  the  blest  thy  praise  prolong. 

Cherubs  and  seraphic  legions 
Know  no  theme  of  nobler  song; 

White-robed  saints,  who  there  adore  thee 
Throned  above  the  glassy  main. 

Sing,  and  cast  their  crowns  before  thee, 
"  Lord,  for  us  the  Lamb  was  slain." 

3  Thus  thy  Church,  whate'er  her  dwelling, 
Heaven  above  or  earth  below. 

One  harmonious  chorus  swelling, 
Loves  her  Saviour's  praise  to  show: 

Here  in  trial,  there  in  glory. 

Changeless  rings  the  immortal  strain. 

Changeless  sounds  the  wondrous  story, 
"  Lord,  for  us  the  Lamb  was  slain."

All  because  we  do  not  carry 
Every  thing  to  God  in  prayer !

Is  there  trouble  anywhere  ? 

We  should  never  be  discouraged. 
Take  it  to  the  Lord  in  prayer. 

Can  we  find  a  friend  so  faithful 
Who  will  all  our  sorrows  share? 

Jesus  knows  our  every  weakness, 
Take  it  to  the  Lord  in  prayer. 

3  Are  we  weak  and  heavy  laden. 
Cumbered  with  a  load  of  care  ? — 

Precious  Saviour,  still  our  refuge, — 
Take  it  to  the  Lord  in  prayer. 

Do  thy  friends  despise,  forsake  thee? 
Take  it  to  the  Lord  in  prayer; 

In  his  arms  he'll  take  and  shield  thee, 
Thou  wilt  find  a  solace  there.

I  oU  Before  His  cross. 

1  Sweet  the  moments,  rich  in  blessing, 
Which  before  the  cross  I  spend ; 

Life,  and  health,  and  peace  possessing. 
From  the  sinner's  dying  Friend. 

2  Truly  blessed  is  this  station, 
Low  before  his  cross  to  lie ; 

While  I  see  divine  compassion 
Beaming  in  his  gracious  eye. 

3  Here  it  is  I  find  my  heaven 
While  upon  the  cross  I  gaze; 

Love  I  much  ?  I  've  much  forgiven  ; 
I  'm  a  miracle  of  grace. 

4  Love  and  grief  my  heart  dividing, 
With  my  tears  his  feet  I  '11  bathe ; 

Constant  still,  in  faith  abiding, 
Life  deriving  from  his  death. 

5  Here  in  tender,  grateful  sorrow 
With  my  Saviour  will  I  stay ; 

Here  new  hope  and  strength  will  borrow; 
Here  will  love  my  fears  away. 

James  Allen,  alt.  by  Walter  Shirley. 

t  St.         Lo,  I  am  with  you  alway. 

1  Always  with  us,  always  with  us  ; — 
Words  of  cheer  and  words  of  love ; 

Thus  the  risen  Saviour  whispers. 
From  his  dwelling-place  above. 

With  us  when  we  toil  in  sadness, 
Sowing  much,  and  reaping  none ; 

Telling  us  that  in  the  future 
Golden  harvests  shall  be  won. 

2  With  us  when  the  storm  is  sweeping 
O'er  our  pathway  dark  and  drear; 

Waking  hope  within  our  bosoms, 
Stilling  every  anxious  fear.

Thou  the  crown  of  life  wilt  give;

i  tjiti  The  power  of  prayer. 

1  O  WONDROUS  power  of  faithful  prayer! 
What  tongue  can  tell  the  almighty  grace  ? 

God's  hands  or  bound  or  open  are. 

As  Moses  or  Elijah  prays  ; 
Let  Moses  in  the  Spirit  groan. 
And  God  cries  out,  "  Let  me  alone ! 

2  "  Let  me  alone,  that  all  my  wrath 
May  rise  the  wicked  to  consume ; 

While  justice  hears  thy  praying  faith, 

It  cannot  seal  the  sinner's  doom: 
My  Son  is  in  my  servant's  prayer. 
And  Jesus  forces  me  to  spare." 

ij  Father,  we  ask  in  Jesus'  name. 
In  Jesus'  power  and  spirit  pray; 

Divert  thy  vengeful  thunder's  aim, 
O  turn  thy  threatening  wrath  away! 

Our  guilt  and  punishment  remove. 

And  magnify  thy  pardoning  love. 

4  Father,  regard  thy  pleading  Son ! 

Accept  his  all-availing  prayer. 
And  send  a  peaceful  answer  down. 

In  honor  of  our  Spokesman  there, 
Whose  blood  proclaims  our  sins  forgiven, 
And  speaks  thy  rebels  up  to  heaven. 


Charles  Weslow.

/OO  Jesus  all,  and  in  all. 

1  Thou  hidden  Source  of  calm  repose. 
Thou  all-sufficient  Love  divine, 

My  help  and  refuge  from  my  foes. 
Secure  I  am  while  thou  art  mine. 

And  lo !  from  sin,  and  grief,  and  shame, 

1  hide  me,  Jesus,  in  thy  name. 

2  Thy  mighty  name  salvation  is, 
And  keeps  my  happy  soul  above 

Comfort  it  brings,  and  power,  and  peace. 

And  joy,  and  everlasting  love : 
To  me,  with  thy  great  name,  are  given 
Pardon,  and  holiness,  and  heaven. 

3  Jesus,  my  all  in  all  thou  art ; 
My  rest  in  toil,  my  ease  in  pam ; 

The  medicine  of  my  broken  heart ; 

In  war,  my  peace ;  in  loss,  my  gain , 
My  smile  beneath  the  tyrant's  frown; 
In  shame,  my  glory  and  my  crown: 

4  In  want,  my  plentiful  supply; 

In  weakness,  my  almighty  power; 
In  bonds,  my  perfect  liberty; 

My  light,  in  Satan's  darkest  hour; 
In  grief,  my  joy  unspeakable; 
My  life  in  death,  my  all  in  all.

THE  CHRISTIAN  — PRAYER   AND  PRAISE. 


FIRST   PART. 


i  O  I       Wrestling  Jacob — the  struggle. 

1  Come,  O  thou  Traveler  unknown. 
Whom  still  I  hold,  but  cannot  see; 

My  company  before  is  gone, 

And  I  am  left  alone  with  thee : 
With  thee  all  night  I  mean  to  stay, 
And  wrestle  till  the  break  of  day. 

2  i  need  not  tell  thee  who  I  am, 
My  sin  and  misery  declare; 

Thyself  hast  called  me  by  my  name, 

Look  on  thy  hands,  and  read  it  there : 
But  who,  I  ask  thee,  who  art  thou? 
Tell  me  thy  name,  and  tell  me  now. 

3  In  vain  thou  strugglest  to  get  free, 
I  never  will  unloose  my  hold : 

Art  thou  the  Man  that  died  for  me? 

The  secret  of  thy  love  unfold : 
Wrestling,  I  will  not  let  thee  go. 
Till  I  thy  name,  thy  nature  know. 

4  Wilt  thou  not  yet  to  me  reveal 
Thy  new,  unutterable  name? 

Tell  me,  I  still  beseech  thee,  tell ; 
To  know  it  now  resolved  I  am : 
Wrestling,  I  will  not  let  thee  go, 
Till  I  thy  name,  thy  nature  know. 

5  What  though  my  shrinking  flesh  com- 

plain. 
And  murmur  to  contend  so  long? 
I  rise  superior  to  my  pain ; 
•   When  I  am  weak,  then  I  am  strong: 
And  when  my  all  of  strength  shall  fail, 
I  shall  with  the  God-man  prevail. 

Charles  Wesley. 

SECOND   PART. 

i  OO  The  name  revealed. 

1  Yield  to  me  now,  for  I  am  weak. 
But  confident  in  self-despair; 

Speak  to  my  heart,  in  blessing  speak, 

Be  conquered  by  my  instant  prayer: 
Speak,  or  thou  never  hence  shalt  move, 
And  tell  me  if  thy  name  be  Love. 

2  'TisLove!  'tis  Love!  thou  diedst  forme! 
I  hear  thy  whisper  in  my  heart; 

The  morning  breaks,  the  shadows  flee; 

Pure,  universal  love  thou  art : 
To  me,  to  all,  thy  bowels  move ; 
Thy  nature  and  thy  name  is  Love. 

3  My  prayer  hath  power  with  God ;  the 

grace 

Unspeakable  I  now  receive; 
Through  faith  I  see  thee  face  to  face, 

I  see  thee  face  to  face,  and  live ! 
In  vain  I  have  not  wept  and  strove ; 
Thy  nature  and  thy  name  is  Love.

4  I  know  thee,  Saviour,  who  thou  art, 
Jesus,  the  feeble  sinner's  Friend; 

Nor  wilt  thou  with  the  night  depart, 
But  stay  and  love  me  to  the  end : 

Thy  mercies  never  shall  remove ; 

Thy  nature  and  thy  name  is  Love.

i  O  y  Victorioiis  rapture. 

1  The  Sun  of  righteousness  on  me 
Hath  risen  with  healing  in  his  wings: 

Withered  my  nature's  strength,  from  the^. 

My  soul  its  life  and  succor  brings : 
My  help  is  all  laid  up  above ; 
Thy  nature  and  thy  name  is  Love. 

2  Contented  now,  upon  my  thigh 

I  halt,  till  life's  short  journey  end ; 
All  helplessness,  all  "weakness,  I 

On  thee  alone  for  strength  depend. 
Nor  have  I  power  from  thee  to  move ; 
Thy  nature  and  thy  name  is  Love. 

3  Lame  as  I  am,  I  take  the  prey  ; 

Hell,  earth,  and  sin,  with  ease  o'ercome  ; 
I  leap  for  joy,  pursue  my  way. 

And  as  a  bounding  hart  fly  home. 
Through  all  eternity  to  prove 
Thy  nature  and  thy  name  is  Love.

/  4U  Everlasting  praises. 

1  I  'll  praise  my  Maker  while  I  've  breath. 
And  when  my  voice  is  lost  in  death. 

Praise  shall  employ  my  nobler  powers ; 
My  days  of  praise  shall  ne'er  be  past. 
While  life,  and  thought,  and  being  last. 

Or  immortality  endures. 

2  Happy  the  man  whose  hopes  rely 
On  Israel's  God ;  he  made  the  sky. 

And  earth,  and  seas,  with  all  their  train ; 
His  truth  forever  stands  secure; 
He  saves  the  oppressed,  Jie  feeds  the  poor, 

And  none  shall  find  his  promise  vain. 

3  The  Lord  pours  eye-sight  on  the  blind , 
The  Lord  supports  the  fainting  mind; 

He  sends  the  laboring  conscience  peace ; 
He  helps  the  stranger  in  distress. 
The  widow  and  the  fatherless. 

And  grants  the  prisoner  sweet  release. 

4  I  '11  praise  him  while  he  lends  me  breath, 
And  when  my  voice  is  lost  in  death. 

Praise  shall  employ  my  nobler  powers ; 
My  days  of  praise  shall  ne'er  be  past, 
While  life,  and  thought,  and  being  last. 

Or  immortality  endures.

1  How  happy,  gracious  Lord,  are  we, 

Divinely  drawn  to  follow  thee ! 

Whose  hours  divided  are 
Betwixt  the  mount  and  multitude; 
Our  day  is  spent  in  doing  good. 

Our  night  in  praise  and  prayer. 

3  With  us  no  melancholy  void. 
No  moment  lingers  unemployed. 

Or  unimproved,  below : 
Our  weariness  Of  life  is  gone. 
Who  live  to  serve  our  God  alone. 

And  only  thee  to  know. 

3  The  winter's  night,  the  summer's  day, 
Glide  imperceptibly  away, 

Too  short  to  sing  thy  praise ; 
Too  few  we  find  the  happy  hours. 
And  haste  to  join  those  heavenly  powers 

In  everlasting  lays. 

4  With  all  who  chant  thy  name  on  high. 
And,  "Holy,  holy,  holy,"  cry, — 

A  bright,  harmonious  throng! 
We  long  thy  praises  to  repeat. 
And  ceaseless  sing  around  thy  seat 

The  new,  eternal  song.

Ps.  12i:  2. 

1  To  the  hills  I  lift  mine  eyes, 
The  everlasting  hills; 

Streaming-  thence  in  fresh  supplies. 

My  soul  the  Spirit  feels  : 
Will  he  not  his  help  afford .'' 

Help,  while  yet  I  ask,  is  given : 
God  comes  down ;  the  God  and  Lord 

Who  made  both  earth  and  heaven. 

2  Faithful  soul,  pray  always;  pray, 
And  still  in  God  confide; 

He  thy  feeble  steps  shall  stay. 

Nor  suffer  thee  to  slide ; 
Lean  on  thy  Redeemer's  breast ; 

He  thy  quiet  spirit  keeps  ; 
Rest  in  him,  securely  rest ; 

Thy  Watchman  never  sleeps. 

3  Neither  sin,  nor  earth,  nor  hell. 
Thy  Keeper  can  surprise; 

Careless  slumbers  cannot  steal 

On  his  all-seeing  eyes; 
He  is  Israel's  sure  defense; 

Israel  all  his  care  shall  prove ; 
Kept  by  watchful  providence, 

And  ever-waking  love.

§  4:  i  Preciousness  of  Jesus. 

1  How  tedious  and  tasteless  the  hours 
When  Jesus  no  longer  I  see! 

Sweet  prospects,  sweet   birds,  and   sweet 
flowers, 

Have  all  lost  their  sweetness  to  me ; 
The  midsummer  sun  shines  but  dim, 

The  fields  strive  in  vain  to  look  gay ; 
But  when  I  am  happy  in  him, 

December's  as  pleasant  as  May. 

2  His  name  yields  the  richest  perfume. 
And  sweeter  than  music  his  voice; 

His  presence  disperses  my  gloom. 
And  makes  all  within  me  rejoice; 

I  should,  were  he  always  thus  nigh, 
Have  nothing  to  wish  or  to  fear; 

No  mortal  so  happy  as  I, 

My  summer  would  last  all  the  year, 

3  Content  with  beholding  his  face. 
My  all  to  his  pleasure  resigned, 

No  changes  of  season  or  place 

Would  make  any  change  in  my  mind : 

While  blest  with  a  sense  of  his  love, 
A  palace  a  toy  would  appear; 

And  prisons  would  palaces  prove. 
If  Jesus  would  dwell  with  me  there. 


277 


4  My  Lord,  if  indeed  I  am  thine. 
If  thou  art  my  sun  and  my  song. 

Say,  why  do  I  languish  and  pine.'' 
And  why  are  my  winters  so  long.? 

0  drive  these  dark  clouds  from  my  sky. 
Thy  soul-cheering  presence  restore ; 

Or  take  me  to  thee  up  on  high, 
Where  winter  and  clouds  are  no  more. 

John  Kewton. 

i  4  O     Longing  for  closer  communion. 

1  Thou  Shepherd  of  Israel,  and  mine. 
The  joy  and  desire  of  my  heart, 

For  closer  communion  I  pine, 
I  long  to  reside  where  thou  art : 

The  pasture  I  languish  to  find, 

Where  all,  who  their  Shepherd  obey. 

Are  fed,  on  thy  bosom  reclined. 

And  screened  from  the  heat  of  the  day. 

2  'Tis  there,  with  the  lambs  of  thy  flock, 
There  only,  I  covet  to  rest ; 

To  lie  at  the  foot  of  the  rock. 
Or  rise  to  be  hid  in  thy  breast : 

'Tis  there  I  would  always  abide. 
And  never  a  moment  depart. 

Concealed  in  the  cleft  of  thy  side, 
Eternally  held  in  thy  heart. 

Charles  Wesley.

Sweet  is  that  shelter  from  the  sun 
In  weary  heat  of  day.

And  finding  there  the  house  of  God,

3  The  smilings  of  thy  face.- 
How  amiable  they  are ! 

'Tis  heaven  to  rest  in  thine  embrace. 
And  nowhere  else  but  there. 

4  Not  all  the  harps  above 
Can  make  a  heavenly  place. 

If  God  his  residence  remove. 
Or  but  conceal  his  face. 

5  Thou  art  the  sea  of  love. 
Where  all  my  pleasures  roll : 

The  circle  where  my  passions  move. 
And  center  of  my  soul. 

Isaac  Watts. 
Doxology. 

To  God,  the  Father,  Son, 
And  Spirit,  One  in  Three, 

Be  glory,  as  it  was,  is  now, 
And  shall  forever  be. 

John  Wesley.

ififii  The  hour  of  prayer. 

2  Blest  is  that  tranquil  hour  of  morn, 
And  blest  that  solemn  hour  of  eve, 

When,  on  the  wings  of  prayer  upborne. 
The  world  I  leave. 

3  Then  is  my  strength  by  thee  renewed  ; 
Then  are  my  sins  by  thee  forgiven ; 

Then  dost  thou  cheer  my  solitude 
With  hopes  of  heaven. 

4  No  words  can  tell  what  sweet  relief 
Here  for  my  every  want  I  find ; 

SUPPLICATION.      S.  M. 


What  strength  for  warfare,  balm  for  grief. 
What  peace  of  mind. 

5  Hushed  is  each  doubt,  gone  every  fear ; 
My  spirit  seems  in  heaven  to  stay; 

And  e'en  the  penitential  tear 
Is  wiped  away. 

6  Lord,  till  I  reach  that  blissful  shore. 
No  privilege  so  dear  shall  be. 

As  thus  my  inmost  soul  to  pour 
In  prayer  to  thee.

All  fullness  dwells  in  him ; 

He  healeth  my  diseases, 
He  doth  my  soul  redeem  : 

I  lay  my  griefs  on  Jesus, 
My  burdens  and  my  cares; 

He  from  them  all  releases. 
He  all  my  sorrows  shares. 

3  I  rest  my  soul  on  Jesus, 
This  weary  soul  of  mine  ; 

His  right  hand  me  embraces, 

I  on  his  breast  recline : 
I  love  the  name  of  Jesus, 

Immanuel,  Christ,  the  Lord  ; 
Like  fragrance  on  the  breezes. 

His  name  abroad  is  poured. 

4  I  long  to  be  like  Jesus, 
Meek,  loving,  lowly,  mild; 

I  long  to  be  like  Jesus, 

The  Father's  holy  child: 
I  long  to  be  with  Jesus 

Amid  the  heavenly  throng. 
To  sing  with  saints  his  praises, 

And  learn  the  angels'  song.

O  Lord  of  life,  from  thee ; 
In  thee  is  life  provided 

For  all  mankind  and  me: 

1  know  no  death,  O  Jesus, 
Because  I  live  in  thee  ; 

Thy  death  it  is  which  frees  us 
f>om  death  eternally. 

2  I  fear  no  tribulation. 
Since,  whatsoe'er  it  be, 

It  makes  no  separation 
Between  my  Lord  and  me. 

If  thou,  my  God  and  Teacher, 
Vouchsafe  to  be  my  own, 

Though  poor,  I  shall  be  richer 
Than  monarch  on  his  throne. 

3  If,  while  on  earth  I  wander, 
My  heart  is  light  and  blest. 

Ah,  what  shall  I  be  yonder, 
In  perfect  peace  and  rest? 

O  blessed  thought!  in  dying 
We  go  to  meet  the  Lord, 

Where  there  shall  be  no  sighing, 
A  kingdom  our  reward.

Of  Jesus  and  his  glory, 

Of  Jesus  and  his  love.

Because  I  know  'tis  true ; 

It  satisfies  my  longings. 
As  nothing  else  can  do. 
I  love  to  tell  the  story, 

'Twill  be  my  theme  in  glory, 
To  tell  the  old,  old  story 
Of  Jesus  and  his  love. 

2  I  love  to  tell  the  story ; 
More  wonderful  it  seems 

Than  all  the  golden  fancies 

Of  all  our  golden  dreams. 
I  love  to  tell  the  story.

For  some  have  never  heard 
The  message  of  salvation 

From  God's  own  holy  word.

For  those  who  know  it  best 

Seem  hungering  and  thirsting

I  sing  the  new,  new  song, 
'Twill  be  the  old,  old  story 

That  I  have  loved  so  long.

/  O  <  27«e  foretaste  of  endless  bliss. 

2  True  pleasures  abound  in  the  rapturous 

sound, 
And  whoever  hath  found  it,  hath  paradise 

found : 
My  Redeemer  to  know,  to  feel  his  blood  flow, 
This  is  life  everlasting — 'tis  heaven  below. 

3  Yet  onward  I  haste  to  the  heavenly  feast ; 
That  indeed  is  the  fullness,  but  this  is  the 

taste ; 
And  this  I  shall  prove,  till  with  joy  I  remove 
To  the  heaven  of  heavens  in  Jesus's  love. 

Charles  Wesley. 
[10, 11.    Tnue,  Lyons.    Tage  163.] 
700  Worldly  vanity  renounced. 

O  TELL  me  no  more  of  this  world's  vain 

store, 
The  time  for  such  trifles  with  me  now  is  o'er ; 
A    country    I  've    found   where    true    joys 

abound. 
To   dwell    I  'm    determined  on  that  happy 

ground. 

2  The  souls  that  believe  in  paradise  live. 
And  me  in  that  number  will  Jesus  receive: 
My  soul,  don't  delay;  he  calls  thee  away; 
Rise,  follow  thy  Saviour,  and  bless  the  glad 
day. 


^ 


3  No  mortal  doth  know  what  he  can  bestow. 
What  light,  strength,  and  comfort — go  after 

him,  go; 
Lo,  onward  I  move  to  a  city  above. 
None   guesses   how  wondrous  my  journey 

will  prove. 

4  Great  spoils  I  shall  win  from  death,  hell, 

and  sin, 
'Midst  outward  afflictions  shall  feel  Christ 

within : 
And  when  I  'm  to  die,  "  Receive  me,"  I  '11  cry. 
For  Jesus  hath  loved  me,  I  cannot  tell  why: 

5  But  this  I  do  find,  we  two  are  so  joined. 
He'll  not  live  in  glory  and  leave  m$  be- 
hind : 

So  this   is  the  race  I  'm   running  through 

grace. 
Henceforth,  till  admitted  to  see  my  Lord's 

face. 

6  And  now  I  'm  in  care  my  neighbors  may 

share 
These  blessings :  to  seek  them  will  none  of 

you  dare? 
In  bondage,  O  why,  and  death  will  you  lie. 
When  one  here  assures  you  free  grace  is  so 

nigh?

759  My  Beloved. 

2  Where  dost  thou,  dear  Shepherd,  resort 

with  thy  sheep. 
To  feed  them  in  pastures  of  love  ? 
Say,  why  in  the  valley  of  death  should  I  weep, 
Or  alone  in  this  wilderness  rove.'' 

3  O  why  should  I  wander  an  alien  from  thee, 

Or  cry  in  the  desert  for  bread? 
Thy  foes  will  rejoice  when  my  sorrows  theysee, 
And  smile  at  the  tears  I  have  shed. 

4  Ye  daughters  of  Zion,  declare,  have  you 

seen 
The  star  that  on  Israel  shone.? 


Say,  if  in  your  tents  my  Beloved  has  been. 

And  where  with  lus  flocks  he  is  gone. 
o  He  looks  !  and  ten  thousands  of  angels 
rejoice. 

And  myriads  wait  for  his  word  ; 
He  speaks !  and  eternity,  filled  with  his  voice. 

Re-echoes  the  praise  of  the  Lord. 
6  Dear    Shepherd,  I  hear,  and  will  follow 
thy  call; 

I  know  the  sweet  sound  of  thy  voice  ; 
Restore  and  defend  me,  for  thou  art  my  all, 

And  in  thee  I  will  ever  rejoice.

Shall  while  I  live,  shall  when  I  die.

Forever  shall  my  soul 

His  boundless  blessings  prove ; 
And  while  eternal  ages  roll. 

Adore  and  love.

From  thee  aside. 

4  When  ends  life's  transient  dream. 
When  death's  cold,  sullen  stream 

Shall  o'er  me  roll;

O  bear  me  safe  above, — 

A  ransomed  soul.

1  O  WHERE  are  kings  and  empires  now, 
Of  old  that  went  and  came? 

But,  Lord,  thy  Church  is  praying-  yet, 
A  thousand  years  the  same. 

2  We  mark  her  goodly  battlements, 
And  her  foundations  strong; 

"We  hear  within  the  solemn  voice 
Of  her  unending  song. 

3  For  not  like  kingdoms  of  the  world 
Thy  holy  Church,  O  God ! 

Though   earthquake  shocks  are  threaten- 
ing her. 
And  tempests  are  abroad ; 

4  Unshaken  as  eternal  hills, 
Lnmovable  she  stands, 

A  mountain  that  shall  fill  the  earth, 

A  house  not  made  by  hands. 

A.  Cleveland  Coze. 

i  O  4  Fomuled  on  a  Rock. 

1  "With  stately  towers  and  bulwarks  strong. 
Unrivaled  and  alone, 

Loved  theme  of  many  a  sacred  song, 
God's  holy  city  shone. 

2  Thus  fair  was  Zion's  chosen  seat. 
The  glory  of  all  lands; 

Yet  fairer,  and  in  strength  complete. 
The  Christian  temple  stands. 

3  The  faithful  of  each  clime  and  age 
This  glorious  Church  compose  ; 

Built  on  a  Rock,  with  idle  rage 
The  threatening  tempest  blows. 

4  Fear  not ;  though  hostile  bands  alarm. 
Thy  God  is  thy  defense ; 

And  weak  and  powerless  every  arm 
Against  Omnipotence.

/DO  The  kingdoms  one. 

1  Happy  the  souls  to  Jesus  joined. 
And  saved  by  grace  alone ; 

Walking  in  all  his  ways,  they  find 
Their  heaven  on  earth  begun. 

2  The  Church  triumphant  in  thy  love, 
Their  mighty  joys  we  know : 

They  sing  the  Lamb  in  hymns  above, 
And  we  in  hymns  below. 

3  Thee  in  thy  glorious  realm  they  praise. 
And  bow  before  thy  throne  ; 

We  in  the  kingdom  of  thy  grace: 
The  kingdoms  are  but  one. 

4  The  holy  to  the  holiest  leads. 
And  thence  our  spirits  rise; 

For  he  that  in  thy  statutes  treads 
Shall  meet  thee  in  the  skies. 

Charles  Wesley. 

/  OO  The  sure  Foundation. 

1  Behold  the  sure  Foundation-stone 
Which  God  in  Zion  lays. 

To  build  our  heavenly  hopes  upon. 
And  his  eternal  praise. 

2  Chosen  of  God,  to  sinners  dear. 
We  now  adore  thy  name; 

We  trust  our  whole  salvation  here. 
Nor  can  we  suffer  shame. 

3  The  foolish  builders,  scribe  and  priest. 
Reject  it  with  disdain ; 

Yet  on  this  Rock  the  Church  shall  rest. 
And  envy  rage  in  vain. 

4  What  though  the  gates  of  hell  withstood  ? 
Yet  must  this  building  rise  ; 

'Tis  thine  own  work.  Almighty  God, 
And  wondrous  in  our  eyes.

What  a  favored  lot  is  thine ! 

2  Every  human  tie  may  perish  ; 
Friend  to  friend  unfaithful  prove; 

Mothers  cease  their  own  to  cherish  ; 
Heaven  and  earth  at  last  remove ; 


But  no  changes 
Can  attend  Jehovah's  love. 
3  In  the  furnace  God  may  prove  thee, 

Thence  to  bring  thee  forth  nfiore  bright. 
But  can  never  cease  to  love  thee ; 
Thou  art  precious  in  his  sight : 

God  is  with  thee, 
God,  thine  everlasting  light.

The  Church  our  blest  Redeemer  saved 
With  his  own  precious  blood. 

2  I  love  thy  Church,  O  God! 
Her  walls  before  thee  stand. 

Dear  as  the  apple  of  thine  eye, 
And  graven  on  thy  hand.

For  her  my  prayers  ascend  ; 

To  her  my  cares  and  toils  be  given, 
Till  toils  and  cares  shall  end.

I  prize  her  heavenly  ways, 
Her  sweet  communion,  solemn  vows, 
Her  hymns  of  love  and  praise.

To  Zion  shall  be  given 

The  brightest  glories  earth  can  yield, 
And  brighter  bliss  of  heaven.

Awake  to  earnest  prayer; 

Their  covenant  again  renew.

i  i  *J  The  forty-sixth  Psalm. 

1  God  is  the  refuge  of  his  saints, 
When  storms  of  sharp  distress  invade  ; 

Ere  we  can  offer  our  complaints, 
Behold  him  present  with  his  aid. 

2  Let  mountains  from  their  seats  be  hurled 
Down  to  the  deep,  and  buried  there. 

Convulsions  shake  the  solid  world, — 
Our  faith  shall  never  yield  to  fear. 

3  Loud  may  the  troubled  ocean  roar ; 
In  sacred  peace  our  souls  abide  ; 

While  every  nation,  every  shore, 

Trembles,  and  dreads  the  swelling  tide. 

4  There  is  a  stream  whose  gentle  flow 
Supplies  the  city  of  our  God, 

Life,  love,  and  joy,  still  gliding  through. 
And  watering  our  divine  abode. 

5  That  sacred  stream,  thine  holy  word. 
Our  grief  allays,  our  fear  controls; 

Sweet  peace  thy  promises  afford, 

And  give  new  strength  to  fainting  souls. 

6  Zion  enjoys  her  Monarch's  love. 
Secure  against  a  threatening  hour; 

Nor  can  her  firm  foundation  move. 

Built  on  his  truth,  and  armed  with  power. 

Isaac  Watts. 

I  /  4  The  river  of  life. 

1  Great  Source  of  being  and  of  love !

And  all  the  joys  which  mortals  know. 
From  thine  exhaustless  fountain  flow.

2  A  sacred  spring,  at  thy  command. 
From  Zion's  mount,  in  Canaan's  land, 
Beside  thy  temple  cleaves  the  ground. 
And  pours  its  limpid  stream  around. 

3  Close  by  its  banks,  in  order  fair. 
The  blooming  trees  of  life  appear; 
Their  blossoms  fragrant  odors  give. 
And  on  their  fruit  the  nations  live. 

4  Flow,   wondrous    stream,    with    glory 

crowned. 
Flow  on  to  earth's  remotest  bound ; 
And  bear  us,  on  thy  gentle  wave. 
To  him  who  all  thy  virtues  gave. 

Philip  Doddridee. 

/  /O      Awahe^  Jerusalem,  awake! 

1  Awake,  Jerusalem,  awake! 
No  longer  in  thy  sins  lie  down  : 

The  garment  of  salvation  take  ; 

Thy  beauty  and  thy  strength  put  on. 

2  Shake  off  the  dust  that  blinds  thy  sight. 
And  hides  the  promise  from  thine  eyes; 

Arise,  and  struggle  into  light ; 

The  great  Deliverer  calls,  "  Arise ! " 

3  Shake  off  the  bands  of  sad  despair ; 
Zion,  assert  thy  liberty; 

Look  up,  thy  broken  heart  prepare, 
And  God  shall  set  the  captive  free. 

4  Vessels  of  mercy,  sons  of  grace, 
Be  purged  from  every  sinful  stain ; 

Be  like  your  Lord,  his  w'ord  embrace. 
Nor  bear  his  hallowed  name  in  vain.

Formed  thee  for  his  own  abode; 

On  the  Rock  of  ages  founded,

With  salvation's  walls  surrounded, 
Thou  mayst  smile  at  all  thy  foes.

Springing  from  eternal  love, 

Still  supply  thy  sons  and  daughters, 
And  all  fear  of  want  remove  : 

Who  can  faint  while  such  a  river 
Ever  tiows  our  thirst  to  assuage? 

Grace,  which,  like  the  Lord,  the  giver. 
Never  fails  from  age  to  age.

See  the  cloud  and  fire  appear. 

For  a  glory  and  a  covering. 
Showing  that  the  Lord  is  near!

He  who  listens  when  we  cry. 

Let  him  hear  the  loud  hosanna 
Rising  to  his  throne  on  high.

1  Hear  what  God  the  Lord  hath  spoken: 
O  my  people,  faint  and  few. 

Comfortless,  afflicted,  broken, 

Fair  abodes  I  build  for  you. 
Scenes  of  heartfelt  tribulation 

Shall  no  more  perplex  your  ways  ; 
You  shall  name  your  walls  "  Salvation," 

And  your  gates  shall  all  be  "  Praise." 

2  There,  like  streams  that  feed  the  garden. 
Pleasures  without  end  shall  flow, 

For  the  Lord,  your  faith  rewarding. 

All  his  bounty  shall  bestow. 
Still  in  undisturbed  possession, 

Peace  and  righteousness  shall  reign  , 
Never  shall  you  feel  oppression, 

Hear  the  voice  of  war  again. 

3  Ye,  no  more  your  suns  descending, 
Waning  moons  no  more  shall  see ; 

But,  your  griefs  forever  ending, 

Find  eternal  noon  in  me  : 
God  shall  rise,  and,  shining  o'er  you, 

Change  to  day  the  gloom  of  night; 
He,  the  Lord,  shall  be  your  glory, 

God  your  everlasting  light.

<OU  The  golden  chain. 

1  How  sweet,  how  heavenly  is  the  sight, 
When  those  who  love  the  Lord 

In  one  another's  peace  delight. 
And  so  fulfill  his  word! 

2  When  each  can  feel  his  brother's  sigh, 
And  with  him  bear  a  part! 

When  sorrow  flows  from  eye  to  eye, 
And  joy  from  heart  to  heart! 

3  When,  free  from  envy,  scorn,  and  pride, 
Our  wishes  all  above. 

Each  can  his  brother's  failings  hide, 
And  show  a  brother's  love! 

4  Let  love,  in  one  delightful  stream, 
Through  every  bosom  flow. 

And  union  sweet,  and  dear  esteem. 
In  every  action  glow. 

5  Love  is  the  golden  chain  that  binds 
The  happy  souls  above  ; 

And  he's  an  heir  of  heaven  who  finds 
His  bosom  glow  with  love. 

Joseph  Swain. 

i  OX  Come  with  us. 

1  Come  in,  thou  blessed  of  the  Lord, 
Stranger  nor  foe  art  thou : 

We  welcome  thee  with  warm  accord, 
Our  friend,  our  brother,  now. 

2  The  hand  of  fellowship,  the  heart 
Of  love,  we  offer  thee  : 

Leaving  the  world,  thou  dost  but  part 
From  lies  and  vanity. 

3  Come  with  us  ;  we  will  do  thee  good. 
As  God  to  us  hath  done ; 


292 


Stand  but  in  him,  as  those  have  stood 
Whose  faith  the  victory  won. 

4  And  when,  by  turns,  we  pass  away. 

As  star  by  star  grows  dim. 
May  each,  translated  into  day. 

Be  lost  and  found  in  him. 

James  Montgomery 

lo^         United — though  separate. 

1  Blest  be  the  dear  uniting  love, 
That  will  not  let  us  part : 

Our  bodies  may  far  off  remove. 
We  still  are  one  in  heart. 

2  Joined  in  one  spirit  to  our  Head, 
Where  he  appoints  we  go ; 

And  still  in  Jesus'  footsteps  tread. 
And  show  his  praise  below. 

3  O  may  we  ever  walk  in  him. 
And  nothing  know  beside  ; 

Nothing  desire,  nothing  esteem. 
But  Jesus  crucified. 

4  Closer  and  closer  let  us  cleave 
To  his  beloved  embrace ; 

Expect  his  fullness  to  receive. 
And  grace  to  answer  grace. 

5  Partakers  of  the  Saviour's  grace, 
The  same  in  mind  and  heart, 

Nor  joy,  nor  grief,  nor  time,  nor  place. 
Nor  life,  nor  death  can  part. 

6  Then  let  us  hasten  to  the  day 
Which  shall  our  flesh  restore  ; 

When  death  shall  all  be  done  away. 
And  bodies  part  no  more. 

Charles  Wesley.

1  Our  God  is  love  ;  and  all  his  saints 
His  image  bear  below : 

The  heart  with  love  to  God  inspired, 
With  love  to  man  will  glow. 

2  Teach  us  to  love  each  other.  Lord, 
As  we  are  loved  by  thee; 

None  who  are  truly  born  of  God 
Can  live  in  enmity. 

3  Heirs  of  the  same  immortal  bliss, 
Our  hopes  and  fears  the  same, 

With  bonds  of  love  our  hearts  unite, 
With  mutual  love  inflame. 

4  So  may  the  unbelieving  world 
See  how  true  Christians  love; 

And  glorify  our  Saviour's  i^race. 
And  seek  that  grace  to  prove. 

Thomas  Cotterill. 

784  The  laio  of  Chrv^t. 

1  Try  us,  O  God,  and  search  the  ground 
Of  every  sinful  heart ; 

Whate'er  of  sin  in  us  is  found, 
O  bid  it  all  depart. 

2  If  to  the  right  or  left  we  stray. 
Leave  us  not  comfortless ; 

But  guide  our  feet  into  the  way 
Of  everlasting  peace. 

3  Help  us  to  help  each  other.  Lord, 
Each  other's  cross  to  bear; 

Let  each  his  friendly  aid  afford, 
And  feel  his  brother's  care. 

4  Help  us  to  build  each  other  up, 
Our  little  stock  improve; 


293 


Increase  our  faith,  confirm  our  hope. 
And  perfect  us  in  love. 

5  Up  into  thee,  our  living  Head, 
Let  us  in  all  things  grow. 

Till  thou  hast  made  us  free  indeed. 
And  spotless  here  below. 

6  Then,  when  the  mighty  work  is  wrought, 
Receive  thy  ready  bride : 

Give  us  in  heaven  a  happy  lot 
With  all  the  sancdfied. 

Charles  'Wesley. 

/oO        The  loadstone  of  His  love. 

1  Jesus,  united  by  thy  grace. 
And  each  to  each  endeared, 

With  confidence  we  seek  thy  face. 
And  know  our  prayer  is  heard. 

2  Still  let  us  own  our  common  Lord, 
And  bear  thine  easy  yoke ; 

A  band  of  love,  a  threefold  cord, 
Which  never  can  be  broke. 

3  Make  us  into  one  spirit  drink ; 
Baptize  into  thy  name  ; 

And  let  us  always  kindly  think, 
And  sweetly  speak,  the  same. 

4  Touched  by  the  loadstone  of  thy  love, 
Let  all  our  hearts  agree. 

And  ever  toward  each  other  move, 
And  ever  move  toward  thee.

Heb.  12:  22.

The  tempest,  fire,  and  smoke ; 

Not  to  the  thunder  of  that  word 
Which  God  on  Sinai  spoke ; — - 

2  But  we  are  come  to  Zion's  hill. 
The  city  of  our  God  ; 

Where  milder  words  declare  his  will, 
And  speak  his  love  abroad.

Of  angels  clothed  in  light ! 

Behold  the  spirits  of  the  just, 
.  Whose  faith  is  turned  to  sight ! 

4  Behold  the  blest  assembly  there. 
Whose  names  are  writ  in  heaven, 

And  God,  the  Judge  of  all,  declare 
Their  vilest  sins  forgiven ! 

5  The  saints  on  earth  and  all  the  dead 
But  one  communion  make  ; 

All  join  in  Christ,  their  living  Head, 
And  of  his  grace  partake. 

6  In  such  society  as  this 
My  weary  soul  would  rest : 

The  man  that  dwells  where  Jesus  is. 
Must  be  forever  blest. 

Isaac  Watta. 

too  The  bond  of  love. 

1  The  glorious  universe  around. 
The  heavens  with  all  their  train, 

Sun,  moon,  and  stars,  are  firmly  bound 
In  one  mysterious  chain. 

2  In  one  fraternal  bond  of  love. 
One  fellowship  of  mind, 

The  saints  below  and  saints  above 
Their  bliss  and  glory  find. 

3  Here,  in  their  house  of  pilgrimage, 
Thy  statutes  are  their  song ; 

There,  through  one  bright,  eternal  age, 
Thy  praises  they  prolong. 

4  Lord,  may  our  union  form  a  part 
Of  that  thrice  happy  whole  ; 

Derive  its  pulse  from  thee,  the  heart. 
Its  life  from  thee,  the  soul.

•  y4:      The  hcavenlj  Guest  invited. 

1  Saviour  of  all,  to  thee  we  bow, 
And  own  thee  faithful  to  thy  word  ; 

We  hear  thy  voice,  and  open  now 
Our  hearts  to  entertain  our  Lord. 

2  Come  in,  come  in,  thou  heavenly  Guest ; 
Delight  in  what  thyself  hast  given  ; 

On  thy  own  gifts  and  graces  feast, 

And  make  the  contrite  heart  thy  heaven. 

3  Smell  the  sweet  odor  of  our  prayers  ; 
Our  sacrifice  of  praise  approve  ; 

And  treasure  up  our  gracious  tears, 
Who  rest  in  thy  redeeming  love. 

4  Beneath  thy  shadow  let  us  sit ; 

Call  us  thy  friends,  and  love,  and  bride. 
And  bid  us  freely  drink  and  eat 
Thy  dainties,  and  be  satisfied. 

Charles  "Wesley. 

I  y  O  Glorious  and  sjyotless. 

1  Jesus,  from  whom  all  blessings  flow, 
Great  Builder  of  thy  Church  below. 

If  now  thy  Spirit  move  my  breast. 
Hear,  and  fulfill  thine  own  request. 

2  The  few  that  truly  call  thee  Lord, 
And  wait  thy  sanctifying  word. 

And  thee  their  utmost  Saviour  own, — 
Unite  and  perfect  them  in  one. 

3  O  let  them  all  thy  mind  express. 
Stand  forth  thy  chosen  witnesses. 
Thy  power  unto  salvation  show. 
And  perfect  holiness  below.

4  In  them  let  all  mankind  behold 
How  Christians  lived  in  davs  of  old  ; 
Mighty  their  envious  foes  to  move, 
A  proverb  of  reproach — and  love. 

Charles  Wesley, 

/  tJ  D  0)26  nov,  one  forever. 

1  Still  one  in  life  and  one  in  death. 
One  in  our  hope  of  rest  above. 

One  in  our  joy,  our  trust,  our  faith. 
One  in  each  other's  faithful  love ; 

2  Yet  must  we  part,  and  parting  weep  ; 
What  else  has  earth  for  us  in  store? 

Our  farewell  pangs,  how  sharp  and  deep  I 
Our  farewell  words,  how  sad  and  sore ! 

3  Yet  shall  we  meet  again  in  peace. 
To  sing  the  song  of  festal  joy, 

Where  none  shall  bid  our  gladness  cease 
And  none  our  fellowship  destroy: 

4  Where  none  shall  beckon  us  away. 
Nor  bid  our  festival  be  done ; 

Our  meeting-time  the  eternal  dav. 
Our  meeting-place  the  eternal  throne. 

5  There,  hand  in  hand,  firm-linked  at  last,. 
And  heart  to  heart  enfolded  all, 

We '11  smile  upon  the  troubled  past. 
And  wonder  why  we  wept  at  all. 

Horatius  Bonar. 

Doxoloffi/. 
Praise  God,  from  whom  all  blessings  flow; 
Praise  him,  all  creatures  here  below; 
Praise  him  above,  ye  heavenly  host ; 
Praise  Father,  Son,  and  Holy  Ghost.

/  y  /      Sympathy  and  mutual  love. 

1  Blest  be  the  tie  that  binds 
Our  hearts  in  Christian  love  ; 

The  fellowship  of  kindred  minds 
Is  like  to  that  above. 

2  Before  our  Father's  throne, 
We  pour  our  ardent  prayers ; 

Our  fears,  our  hopes,  our  aims  are  one, 
Our  comforts  and  our  cares. 

S  We  share  our  mutual  woes, 

Our  mutual  burdens  bear; 
And  often  for  each  other  flows 

The  sympathizing  tear. 

4  When  we  asunder  part. 
It  gives  us  inward  pain  ; 

But  we  shall  still  be  joined  in  heart, 
And  hope  to  meet  again. 

5  This  glorious  hope  revives 
Our  courage  by  the  way ; 

While  each  in  expectation  lives. 
And  longs  to  see  the  day. 

'6  From  sorrow,  toil,  and  pain. 

And  sin  we  shall  be  free ; 
And  perfect  love  and  friendship  reign 

Through  all  eternity. 

John  Pawoett. 

4\)o         Meeting,  after  absence. 
1  And  are  we  yet  alive. 

And  see  each  other's  face? 
Glory  and  praise  to  Jesus  give. 

For  his  redeeming  grace. 
Preserved  by  power  divine 

To  full  salvation  here. 


298 


Again  in  Jesus'  praise  we  join. 
And  in  his  sight  appear. 

2  What  troubles  have  we  seen. 
What  conflicts  have  we  passed, 

Fightings  without,  and  fears  within. 

Since  we  assembled  last! 
But  out  of  all  the  Lord 

Hath  brought  us  by  his  love ; 
And  still  he  doth  his  help  afford. 

And  hides  our  life  above. 

3  Then  let  us  make  our  boast 
Of  his  redeeming  power. 

Which  saves  us  to  the  uttermost, 

Till  we  can  sin  no  more : 
Let  us  take  up  the  cross. 

Till  we  the  crown  obtain; 
And  gladly  reckon  all  things  loss. 

So  we  may  Jesus  gain. 

Charles  Wesleyj^ 

/  y  y  Blest  comm,union. 

1  Blest  are  the  sons  of  peace. 
Whose  hearts  and  hopes  are  one; 

Whose  kind  designs  to  serve  and  please 
Through  all  their  actions  run. 

2  Blest  is  the  pious  house 
Where  zeal  and  friendship  meet; 

Their   songs   of  praise,  their   mingled 
vows. 
Make  their  communion  sweeL 

3  Thus  on  the  heavenly  hills 
The  saints  are  blest  above. 

Where  joy  like  morning  dew  distills, 
And  all  the  air  is  love.

One  only  watchword,  love: 
From  different  temples  though  it  rise. 
One  song  ascendeth  to  the  skies. 

2  Our  Sacrifice  is  one; 

One  Priest  before  the  throne. 
The  slain,  the  risen  Son, 
Redeemer,  Lord  alone: 
Thou  who  didst  raise  him  from  the  dead. 
Unite  thy  people  in  their  Head. 

3  O  may  that  holy  prayer, 
His  tenderest  and  his  last, 

His  constant,  latest  care 

Ere  to  his  throne  he  passed, 
No  longer  unfulfilled  remain. 
The  world's  offense,  his  people's  stain!

The  catholic,  the  true. 

On  all  her  members  breathe. 
Her  broken  frame  renew: 
Then  shall  thy  perfect  will  be  done. 
When  Christians  love  and  live  as  one.

•O  U  X.     Bear  ye  one  another'' n  burdens,

We  seek  thy  perfect  way, 
Ready  thy  choice  to  approve. 

Thy  providence  to  obey ; 


299 


Enter  into  thy  wise  design. 

And  sweetly  lose  our  will  in  thine. 

2  Why  hast  thou  cast  our  lot 
In  the  same  age  and  place? 

And  why  together  brought 
To  see  each  other's  face  ; 
To  join  with  softest  sympathy, 
And  mix  our  friendly  souls  in  thee.' 

3  Didst  thou  not  make  us  one. 
That  we  might  one  remain  ; 

Together  travel  on, 

And  bear  each  other's  pain  ; 
Till  all  thy  utmost  goodness  prove, 
And  rise  renewed  in  perfect  love  } 

4  Surely  thou  didst  unite 
Our  kindred  spirits  here. 

That  all  hereafter  might 
Before  thy  throne  appear; 
Meet  at  the  marriage  ot  the  Lamb, 
And  all  thy  gracious  love  proclaim. 

5  Then  let  us  ever  bear 
The  blessecf  end  in  view, 

And  join,  with  mutual  care. 
To  fight  our  passage  through ; 
And  kindly  help  each  other  on. 
Till  all  receive  the  starry  crown. 

6  O  may  thy  Spirit  seal 
Our  souls  unto  that  day, 

With  all  thy  fullness  fill, 

And  then  transport  away, — 
Away  to  our  eternal  rest. 
Away  to  our  Redeemer's  breast !

^\)i^  Sweet  counsel. 

1  Glory  be  to  God  above, 

God,  from  whom  all  blessings  flow ; 
Make  we  mention  of  his  love, 
Publish  we  his  praise  below: 

2  Called  together  by  his  grace, 
We  are  met  in  Jesus'  name ; 

See  with  joy  each  other's  face. 
Followers  of  the  bleeding  Lamb. 

3  Build  we  each  the  other  up ; 
Pray  we  for  our  faith's  increase; 

Solid  comfort,  settled  hope, 

Constant  joy,  and  lasting  peace. 

4  More  and  more  let  love  abound  ; 
Let  us  never,  never  rest, 

Till  we  are  in  Jesus  found. 
Of  our  paradise  possessed. 

Charles  Wesley. 

oUtJ         Love,  the  bond  of  Pinion. 

1  While  we  walk  with  God  in  light, 
God  our  hearts  doth  still  unite; 
Dearest  fellowship  we  prove. 
Fellowship  in  Jesus"  love: 
Sweetly  each,  with  each  combined. 
In  the  bonds  of  duty  joined. 

Feels  the  cleansing  blood  applied. 
Daily  feels  that  Christ  hath  died. 

2  Still,  O  Lord,  our  faith  increase. 
Cleanse  from  all  unrighteousness ; 
Thee  the  unholy  cannot  see. 
Make,  O  make  us  meet  for  thee ; 
Every  vile  affection  kill. 

Root  out  every  seed  of  ill, 

Utterly  abolish  sin, 

Write  thy  law  of  love  within. 


300 


3  Hence  may  all  our  actions  flow. 
Love  the  proof  that  Christ  we  know ; 
Mutual  love  the  token  be. 
Lord,  that  we  belong  to  thee: 
Love,  thine  image,  love  impart ; 
Stamp  it  now  on  every  heart : 
Only  love  to  us  be  given ; 
Lord,  we  ask  no  other  heaven. 

Charles  Wesley- 

oU4  Of  one  heart  and  mind. 

1  Jesus,  Lord,  we  look  to  thee; 
Let  us  in  thy  name  agree ; 
Show  thyself  the  Prince  of  peace; 
Bid  our  jars  forever  cease. 

2  By  thy  reconciling  love, 
Eveiy  stumbling-block  remove ; 
Each  to  each  unite,  endear, 
Come,  and  spread  thy  banner  here, 

3  Make  us  of  one  heart  and  mind, 
Courteous,  pitiful,  and  kind, 
Lowly,  meek,  in  thought  and  word. 
Altogether  like  our  Lord. 

4  Let  us  for  each  other  care. 
Each  the  other's  burden  bear; 
To  thy  Church  the  pattern  give. 
Show  how  true  believers  live. 

5  Free  from  anger  and  from  pride. 
Let  us  thus  in  God  abide  ; 

All  the  depths  of  love  express. 
All  the  heights  of  holiness. 

6  Let  us  then  with  joy  remove 
To  the  family  above  ; 

On  the  wings  of  angels  fly ; 
Show  how  true  believers  die. 

Charleo  Wesley.

Never— no,  never ! 

4  Soon  shall  we  meet  again, 
Meet  ne'er  to  sever; 

Soon  shall  peace  wreathe  her  chain; 

Round  us  forever; 
Our  hearts  will  then  repose 
Secure  from  worldly  woes ; 
Our  songs  of  praise  shall  close 

Never — no,  never!

O  U  O        Ministers'  prayer. 

2  As  laborers  in  thy  vineyard. 
Send  us,  O  Christ,  to  be 

Content  to  bear  the  burden 

Of  weary  days  for  thee  ; 
We  ask  no  other  wages, 

When  thou  shalt  call  us  home, 
But  to  have  shared  the  travail 

Which  makes  thy  kingdom  come. 

3  Come  down,  thou  Holy  Spirit! 
And  fill  our  souls  with  light, 

Clothe  us  in  spotless  raiment. 

In  linen  clean  and  white ; 
Beside  thy  sacred  altar 

Be  with  us,  where  we  stand. 
To  sanctify  thy  people 

Through  all  this  happy  land. 

John  S.  B.  MonseU.

0  U  17    Entire  dependence  on  Christ. 

1  Except  the  Lord  conduct  the  plan, 
The  best  concerted  schemes  are  vain. 

And  never  can  succeed ; 


303 


We   spend  our  wretched   strength  for 

naught ; 
But  if  our  works  in  thee  be  wrought. 
They  shall  be  blest  indeed. 

2  Lord,  if  thou  didst  thyself  inspire 
Our  souls  with  this  intense  desire 

Thy  goodness  to  proclaim ; 
Thy  glory  if  we  now  intend, 
O  let  our  deeds  begin  and  end 

Complete  in  Jesus'  name. 

3  Now,  Jesus,  now  thy  love  impart. 
To  govern  each  devoted  heart. 

And  fit  us  for  thy  will ; 
Deep  founded  in  the  truth  of  grace, 
Build  up  thy  rising  Church,  and  plaoe 

The  city  on  the  hill. 

4  O  let  our  love  and  faith  abound ; 
O  let  our  lives,  to  all  around. 

With  purest  luster  shine; 
That  all  around  our  works  may  see. 
And  give  the  glory,  Lord,  to  thee, 

The  heavenly  light  divine.

1  Go  forth,  ye  heralds,  in  My  name, 
Sweetly  the  gospel  trumpet  sound  ; 

The  glorious  jubilee  proclaim, 

Where'er  the  human  race  is  found. 

2  The  joyful  news  to  all  impart. 

And  teach  them  where  salvation  lies ; 
With  care  bind  up  the  broken  heart, 
And  wipe  the  tears  from  weeping  eyes. 

S  Be  wise  as  serpents,  where  you  go. 
But  harmless  as  the  peaceful  dove ; 

And  let  your  heaven-taught  conduct  show 
Ye  are  commissioned  from  above. 

4  Freely  from  me  ye  have  received. 
Freely,  in  love,  to  others  give ; 

Thus  shall  your  doctrines  be  believed. 
And,  by  your  labors,  sinners  live.

1  High  on  his  everlasting  throne. 
The  King  of  saints  his  work  surveys ; 

IMarks  the  dear  souls  he  calls  his  own. 
And  smiles  on  the  peculiar  race. 

.-3  He  rests  well  pleased  their  toils  to  see ; 

Beneath  his  easy  yoke  they  move  ; 
With  all  their  heart  and  strength  agree 

In  the  sweet  labor  of  his  love. 

5  See  where  the  servants  of  the  Lord, 
A  busy  multitude,  appear; 

For  Jesus  day  and  night  employed, 
His  heritage  they  toil  to  clear. 


304 


4  The  love  of  Christ  their  hearts  constrains, 
And  strengthens  their  unwearied  hands; 

They  spend   their  sweat,   and   blood,  and 
pains, 
To  cultivate  Immanuel's  lands. 

5  Jesus  their  toil  delighted  sees. 
Their  industry  vouchsafes  to  crown  ; 

He  kindly  gives  the  wished  increase. 
And  sends  the  promised  blessing  down. 

Augustus  G.  Spangenberg.    Tr.  by  J.  Wesley. 

oL'/i        The  ministry  instituted. 

1  The  Saviour,  when  to  heaven  he  lose, 
In  splendid  triumph  o'er  his  foes. 
Scattered  his  gifts,  on  men  below,  _ 
And  still  his  royal  bounties  flow. 

2  Hence  sprang  the  apostles'  honored  name. 
Sacred  beyond  heroic  fame: 

In  humbler  forms,  before  our  eyes, 
Pastors  and  teachers  hence  arise. 

3  From  Christ  they  all  their  gifts  derive. 
And,  fed  by  Christ,  their  graces  live ; 
While,  guarded  by  his  mighty  hand, 
'Midst  all  the  rage  of  hell  they  stand. 

•4  So  shall  the  bright  succession  run 
Through  all  the  courses  of  the  sun ; 
While  unborn  churches,  by  their  care. 
Shall  rise  and  flourish  large  and  fair. 

5  Jesus,  now  teach  our  hearts  to  know 
The  spring  whence  all  these  blessings  flow ; 
Pastors  and  people  shout  thy  praise. 
Through  the  long  round  of  endless  days.

1  Shall  I,  for  fear  of  feeble  man, 
The  Spirit's  course  in  me  restrain  ? 
Or,  undismayed  in  deed  and  word, 
Be  a  true  witness  of  my  Lord? 

2  Awed  by  a  mortal's  frown,  shall  I 
Conceal  the  word  of  God  most  high? 
How  then  before  thee  shall  I  dare 
To  stand,  or  how  thine  anger  bear? 

3  Shall  I,  to  soothe  the  unholy  throng, 
Soften  thy  truth,  or  smooth  my  tongue. 
To  gain  earth's  gilded  toys,  or  flee 
The  cross  endured,  my  Lord,  by  thee? 

4  What,  then,  is  he  whose  scorn  I  dread. 
Whose  wrath  or  hate  makes  me  afraid? 
A  man  !  an  heir  of  death  !  a  slave 
To  sin !  a  bubble  on  the  wave ! 

5  Yea,  let  men  rage  ;  since  thou  wilt  spread 
Thy  shadowing  wings  around  my  head ; 
Since  in  all  pain  thy  tender  love 
Will  still  my  sure  refreshment  prove.

Doth  all  mine  inmost  thoughts  descry; 
Doth  aught  on  earth  my  wishes  raise, 
Or  the  world's  pleasures,  or  its  praise  ? 

2  The  love  of  Christ  doth  me  constrain 
To  seek  the  wandering  souls  of  men  ; 
With  cries,  entreaties,  tears,  to  save, — ■ 
To  snatch  them  from  the  gaping  grave.

No  cross  I  shun,  I  fear  no  shame : 

All  hail,  reproach ;  and  welcome,  pain ; 
Only  thy  terrors.  Lord,  restrain. 

4  My  life,  my  blood,  I  here  present. 
If  for  thy  truth  they  may  be  spent ; 
Fulfill  thy  sovereign  counsel.  Lord ; 
Thy  will  be  done,  thy  name  adored. 

5  Give  me  thy  strength,  O  God  of  powei . 
Then  let  winds  blow,  or  thunders  roar. 
Thy  faithful  witness  will  I  be : 

'Tis  fixed ;  I  can  do  all  through  thee. 

Jobann  J.  Winkler.    Tr.  by  J.  Wesley. 

olD        The  angels  of  the  Churches. 

1  Draw  near,  O  Son  of  God,  draw  near; 
Us  with  thy  flaming  eye  behold; 

Still  in  thy  Church  do  thou  appear. 
And  let  our  candlestick  be  gold. 

2  Still  hold  the  stars  in  thy  right  hand. 
And  let  them  in  thy  luster  glow. 

The  lights  of  a  benighted  land. 
The  angels  of  thy  Church  below. 

3  Make  good  their  apostolic  boast ; 
Their  high  commission  let  them  prove  ; 

Be  temples  of  the  Holy  Ghost, 

And    filled  with    faith,   and  hope,  and 
love. 

4  Give  them  an  ear  to  hear  thy  word ; 
Thou  speakest  to  the  churches  now : 

And  let  all  tongues  confess  their  Lord  ; 
Let  every  knee  to  Jesus  bow.

But  died  without  the  sight.

1  Captain  of  our  salvation,  take 
The  souls  we  here  present  to  thee, 

And  fit  for  thy  great  service  make 

These  heirs  of  immortality; 
And  let  them  in  thine  image  rise, 
And  then  transplant  to  paradise. 

2  Unspotted  from  the  world,  and  pure, 
Preserve  them  for  thy  glorious  cause. 

Accustomed  daily  to  endure 

The  welcome  burden  of  thy  cross; 
Inured  to  toil  and  patient  pain, 
Till  all  thy  perfect  mind  they  gain. 

3  Train  up  thy  hardy  soldiers,  Lord, 
In  all  their  Captain's  steps  to  tread ; 

Or  send  them  to  proclaim  the  word. 

Thy  gospel  through  the  world  to  spread ; 
Freely  as  they  receive  to  give, 
And  preach  the  death  by  which  we  live. 

Charles  'Wesley. 

0  /5  D  Baptismal  hymn. 

1  I  AM  baptized  into  thy  name, 

O  Father,  Son,  and  Holy  Ghost! 
Among  thy  seed  a  place  I  claim. 

Among  thy  consecrated  host; 
Buried  with  Christ  and  dead  to  sin, 
Thy  Spirit  now  shall  live  within.

1  I  I 

2  My  loving  Father,  here  dost  thou 
Proclaim  me  as  thy  child  and  heir; 

Thou,  faithful  Saviour,  bidd'st  me  now 

The  fruit  of  all  thy  sorrows  share ; 
Thou,  Holy  Ghost,  wilt  comfort  me 
When  darkest  clouds  around  I  see. 

3  Hence,  Prince  of  darkness !  hence,  my 

foe! 

Another  Lord  hath  purchased  me  ; 
My  conscience  tells  of  sin,  yet  know. 

Baptized  in  Christ,  I  fear  not  thee : 
Away,  vain  world!  sin,  leave  me  now! 
I  turn  from  you ;  God  hears  my  vow. 

4  And  never  let  me  waver  more, 

O  Father,  Son,  and  Holy  Ghost ; 
Till  at  thy  will  this  life  is  o'er. 

Still  keep  me  in  thy  faithful  host. 
So  unto  thee  I  live  and  die. 
And  praise  thee  evermore  on  high. 

J.  J.  Bambach.    Tr.  by  Miss  C.  WJnkwortli. 

Doxology. 
Immortal  honor,  endless  fame, 
Attend  the  almighty  Father's  name: 
The  Saviour  Son  be  glorified. 
Who  for  lost  man's  redemption  died  ; 
And  equal  adoration  be. 
Eternal  Comforter,  to  thee !

000  The  Lor-d^s  Supper  instituted. 

1  In  that  sad,  memorable  night, 
When  Jesus  was  for  us  betrayed. 

He  left  his  death-recording  rite : 

He  took,  and  blest,  and  brake  the  bread  , 
And  gave  his  own  their  last  bequest. 
And  thus  his  love's  intent  expressed  : 

2  "  Take,  eat,  this  is  my  body,  given 
To  purchase  life  and  peace  for  you. 

Pardon,  and  holiness,  and  heaven : 
Do  this,  my  dying  love  to  show: 
Accept  your  precious  legacy. 
And  thus,  my  friends,  remember  me. 

3  He  took  into  his  hands  the  cup. 
To  crown  the  sacramental  feast, 

And,  full  of  kind  concern,  looked  up. 

And  gave  to  them  what  he  had  blest ; 
And,  "  Drink  ye  all  of  this,"  he  said, 
"  In  -solemn  memory  of  the  dead. 

4  "  This  is  my  blood,  which  seals  the  new 
Eternal  covenant  of  my  grace  ; 

My  blood,  so  freely  shed  for  you. 

For  you  and  all  the  sinful  race ; 

My  blood,  that  speaks  your  sins  forgiven, 

And  justifies  your  claim  to  heaven."

0't4r    T/ie  memorial  feast  maintained. 

2  Through  the  Church's  long  eclipse, 
When,  from  priest  or  pastor's  lips, 
Truth  divine  was  never  heard, — ■ 
'Mid  the  famine  of  the  word. 

Still  these  symbols  witness  gave 
To  his  love  who  died  to  save. 

3  All  who  bear  the  Saviour's  name. 
Here  their  common  faith  proclaim  ; 
Though  diverse  in  tongue  or  rite. 
Here,  one  body,  we  unite; 
Breaking  thus  one  mystic  bread, 
Members  of  one  common  Head. 

4  Come,  the  blessed  emblems  share. 
Which  the  Saviour's  death  declare ; 
Come,  on  truth  immortal  feed; 

For  his  flesh  is  meat  indeed  : 
Saviour,  witness  with  the  sign. 
That  our  ransomed  souls  are  thine. 

Josiah  Conder. 

845  Till  He  come. 

1  "Till  He  come:"  O  let  the  words 
Linger  on  the  trembling  chords  ; 

Let  the  little  while  between 
In  their  golden  light  be  seen  ; 
Let  us  think  how  heaven  and  home 
Lie  beyond  that — "  Till  he  come." 

2  When  the  weary  ones  we  love 
Enter  on  their  rest  above.

Seems  the  earth  so  poor  and  vast. 
All  our  life-joy  overcast? 
Hush,  be  ever^-  murmur  dumb ; 
It  is  only — "  Till  he  come." 
3  See,  the  feast  of  love  is  spread. 
Drink  the  wine,  and  break  the  bread ; 
Sweet  memorials, — till  the  Lord 
Call  us  round  his  heavenly  board  ; 
Some  from  earth,  from  glory  some. 
Severed  only — "Till  he  come."

1  Let  all  who  truly  bear 

The  bleeding  Saviour's  name. 
Their  faithful  hearts  with  us  prepare. 
And  eat  the  Paschal  Lamb. 

2  This  eucharistic  feast 
Our  every  want  supplies, 

And  still  we  by  his  death  are  blest, 
And  share  his  sacrifice. 

3  Who  thus  our  faith  employ. 
His  sufferings  to  record. 

E'en  now  we  mournfully  enjoy 
Communion  with  our  Lord. 

4  We  too  with  him  are  dead, 
And  shall  with  him  arise; 

The  cross  on  which  he  bows  his  head 
Shall  lift  us  to  the  skies.

1  At  the  Lamb's  high  feast  we  sing 
Praise  to  our  victorious  King, 
Who  hath  washed  us  in  the  tide 
Flowing  from  his  pierced  side ; 

2  Praise  we  him,  whose  love  divine 
Gives  his  sacred  blood  for  wine, 
Gives  his  body  for  the  feast, 
Christ  the  Victim,  Christ  the  Priest. 

3  Where  the  paschal  blood  is  poured. 
Death's  dark  angel  sheathes  his  sword ; 
Israel's  hosts  triumphant  go 
Through  the  wave  that  drowns  the  foe. 

4  Praise  we  Christ,  whose  blood  was  shed, 
Paschal  Victim,  paschal  Bread ; 

With  sincerity  and  love 
Eat  we  manna  from  above. 

5  Mighty  Victim  from  the  sky ! 
Hell's  fierce  powers  beneath  thee  lie  ; 
Thou  hast  conquered  in  the  fight. 
Thou  hast  brought  us  life  and  light : 

6  Now  no  more  can  death  appall. 
Now  no  more  the  grave  enthrall ; 
Thou  hast  opened  paradise, 
And  in  thee  thy  saints  shall  rise. 

Roman  Breviary.    Tr.  by  E.  Campbell. 

0  4  o    Discerning  the  Lordi's  body, 

1  Jesus,  all-redeeming  Lord, 
Magnify  thy  dying  word  ; 

In  thine  ordinance  appear; 

Come,  and  meet  thy  followers  here. 

2  In  the  rite  thou  hast  enjoined, 
Let  us  now  our  Saviour  find ; 
Drink  thy  blood  for  sinners  shed, 
Taste  thee  in  the  broken  bread. 


316 


3  Thou  our  faithful  hearts  prepare ; 
Thou  thy  pardoning  grace  declare; 
Thou  that  hast  for  sinners  died, 
Show  thyself  the  Crucified ! 

4  All  the  power  of  sin  remove ; 
Fill  us  with  thy  perfect  love ; 
Stamp  us  with  the  stamp  divine ; 
Seal  our  souls  forever  thine.

O  Food  that  angels  eat, 

O  Manna  sent  from  heaven. 
For  heaven-born  natures  meet; 

Give  us,  for  thee  long  pining. 
To  eat  till  richly  filled ; 

Till,  earth's  delights  resigning, 
Our  every  wisii  is  stilled.

From  out  the  Saviour's  heart, 

A  fountain  purely  flowing, 

A  fount  of  love  thou  art : 
O  let  us,  freely  tasting. 

Our  burning  thirst  assuage ; 
Thy  sweetness,  never  wasting. 

Avails  from  age  to  age. 

3  Jesus,  this  feast  receiving, 
We  thee  unseen  adore  ; 

Thy  faithful  word  believing, 
We  take,  and  doubt  no  more: 

Give  us,  thou  true  and  loving. 
On  earth  to  live  in  thee ; 

Then,  death  the  veil  removing. 
Thy  glorious  face  to  see.

Are  weak,  and  languishing,  and  low ; 
Far,  far  above  our  humble  songs.

And  humbly  worship  at  his  feet, 

O  let  our  warm  affections  move. 
In  glad  returns  of  grateful  love.

In  tears' of  godly  sorrow  flow; 
And  thy  forgiving  smiles  impart 
Life,  hope,  and  joy  to  every  heart.

4  Be  this,  O  Lord,  that  honored  place. 
The  house  of  God,  the  gate  of  heaven. 

And  may  the  fullness  of  thy  grace 
To  all  who  here  shall  meet  be  given. 

5  And  hence,  in  spirit,  may  we  soar 

To  those  bright  courts  where  seraphs 
bend ; 
With  awe  like  theirs,  on  earth  adore. 
Till  with  their  anthems  ours  shall  blend.

To  thee  this  temple.  Lord,  we  build ; 

Thy  power  and  goodness  here  display, 
And  be  it  with  thy  presence  filled. 

2  Here,  when  thy  people  seek  thy  face. 
And  dying  sinners  pray  to  live. 

Hear  thou  in  heaven,  thy  dwelling-place, 
And  when  thou  hearest.  Lord,  forgive! 

3  Here,  when  thy  messengers  proclaim 
The  blessed  gospel  of  thy  Son, 

Still,  by  the  power  of  his  great  name, 
Be  mighty  signs  and  wonders  done. 

4  But  will  indeed  Jehovah  deign 
Here  to  abide,  no  transient  guest? 

Here  will  the  world's  Redeemer  reign? 
And  here  the  Holy  Spirit  rest.'' 

5  Thy  glory  never  hence  depart , 

Yet  choose  not,  Lord,  this  house  alone; 
Thy  kingdom  come  to  every  heart. 
In  everj  bosom  fix  thy  throne.

oDo    A  humble  offering  to  Jehovah. 

1  The  perfect  world,  by  Adam  trod. 
Was  the  first  temple,  built  by  God ; 
His  fiat  laid  the  corner-stone, 

And  heaved  its  pillars  one  by  one. 

2  He  hung  its  starry  roof  on  high. 
The  broad  expanse  of  azure  sky ; 

He  spread  its  pavement,  green  and  bright. 
And  curtained  it  with  morning  light. 

3  The  mountains  in  their  places  stood. 
The  sea,  the  sky;  and  all  was  good; 
And  when  its  first  pure  praises  rang, 
"The  morning  stars  together  sang." 

4  Lord,  'tis  not  ours  to  make  the  sea, 
And  earth,  and  sky,  a  house  for  thee; 
But  in  thy  sight  our  offering  stands, 

A  humbler  temple, "made  with  hands."

To  watch  in  silence  o'er  the  land;

Sleeps  in  the  hollow  of  his  hand.

The  universe  obeys  his  nod  ; 

The  lightning-rifts  disclose  his  throne, 
And   thunders  voice    the   name  of

Where  the  heart  is  the  altar  whence  incense

Which  filled  the  bright  courts  where  thy

But  come  in  that  Spirit  of  glory  and  grace. 
Which  beams  on  the  soul  and  illumines  the 

race. 

4  O  come  in  the  power  of  thy  life-giving  word. 
And  reveal  to  each  heart  its  Redeemer  and 

Lord; 
Till  faith  bring  the   peace  to  the  penitent 

given, 
And  love  fill  the  air  with  the  fragrance  of 

heaven. 

5  The  pomp   of  Moriah   has  long  passed 

away, 
And  soon  shall  our  frailer  erection  decay ; 
But  the  souls  that  are  builded  in  worship 

and  love 
Shall  be  temples  to  God,  everlasting  above.

1  O  THOU,  whose  own  vast  temple  stands, 
Built  over  earth  and  sea; 

Accept  the  walls  that  human  hands 
Have  raised  to  worship  thee! 

2  Lord,  from  thine  inmost  glory  send. 
Within  these  courts  to  bide, 

The  peace  that  dwelleth  without  end. 
Serenely  by  thy  side  ! 

3  May  erring  minds  that  worship  here 
Be  taught  the  better  way ; 

And  they  who  mourn,  and  they  who  fear, 
Be  strengthened  as  they  pray. 

4  May  faith  grow  firm,  and  love  grow  warm. 
And  pure  devotion  rise, 

While  round  these  hallowed  walls  the  storm 
Of  earthborn  passion  dies.

Blessings  entreated. 

1  O  God,  though  countless  worlds  of  light 
Thy  power  and  glory  show. 

Though  round  thy  throne,  above  all  height. 
Immortal  seraphs  glow, — 

2  Yet,  Lord,  where'er  thy  saints  apart 
Are  met  for  praise  and  prayer. 

Wherever  sighs  a  contrite  heart, 
Thou,  gracious  God,  art  there. 

3  With  grateful  joy,  thy  children  rear 
This  temple.  Lord,  to  thee ; 

Long  may  they  sing  thy  praises  here, 
And  here  thy  beauty  see. 

4  Here,  Saviour,  deign  thy  saints  to  meet ; 
With  peace  their  hearts  to  fill ;

And  here,  like  Sharon's  odors  sweet. 
May  grace  divine  distill. 

5  Here  may  thy  truth  fresh  triumphs 
win  ;

In  many  a  heart  now  dead  in  sin, 

A  living  temple  rear.

Hymned  Thy  praise  in  olden  time, 

Judah's  ancient  temple  filling 
With  the  melody  sublime  ; 

Infant  voices 
Joined  to  swell  the  holy  chime.

We  behold  in  latter  days  ; 

Though  a  temple  far  less  glorious 
Echoes  now  the  songs  we  raise  ; 

Still  in  glory 
Thou  wilt  hear  our  notes  of  praise. 

3  Loud  we'll  swell  the  pealing  anthem, 
All  thy  wondrous  acts  proclaim, 

Till  all  heaven  and  earth  resounding. 
Echo  with  thy  glorious  name  ; 

Hallelujah, 
Hallelujah  to  the  Lamb  !

5  O  Thou,  whose  infant  feet  were  found 
Within  thy  Father's  shrine. 

Whose  years,    with    changeless   virtue 
crowned, 
Were  all  alike  divine ; 

6  Dependent  on  thy  bounteous  breath, 
We  seek  thy  grace  alone. 

In  childhood,  manhood,  age,  and  death. 
To  keep  us  still  thine  own. 

Eeginald  Heber. 

0  I  D  Children  praising  Christ. 

1  Come,  Christian  children,  come,  and  raise 
Your  voice  with  one  accord  ; 

Come,  sing  in  joyful  songs  of  praise 
The  glories  of  your  Lord.

2  Sing  of  the  wonders  of  his  love. 
And  loudest  praises  give 

To  him  who  left  his  throne  above. 
And  died  that  you  might  live. 

3  Sing  of  the  wonders  of  his  truth. 
And  read  in  every  page 

The  promise  made  to  earliest  youth 
Fulfilled  to  latest  age. 

4  Sing  of  the  wonders  of  his  power. 
Who  with  his  own  right  arm 

Upholds  and  keeps  you  hour  by  hour, 
And  shields  from  every  harm. 


Oil      Blessedness  of  instructing  the  young. 

1  Delightful  work !  young  souls  to 

win, 
And  turn  the  rising  race 
From  the  deceitful  paths  of  sin, 
To  seek  redeeming  grace. 

2  Children  our  kind  protection  claim  ; 
And  God  will  well  approve 

When  infants  learn  to  lisp  his  name. 
And  their  Redeemer  love. 

3  Be  ours  the  bliss,  in  wisdom's  way 
To  guide  untutored  youth. 

And  show  the  mind  which  went  astray 
The  Way,  the  Life,  the  Truth, 

4  Almighty  God,  tnine  influence  shed. 
To  aid  this  blest  design  ; 

The  honors  of  thy  name  be  spread. 
And  all  the  glory  thine.

Thou  who  art,  from  endless  days, 

Glorious  God  of  all?

And  in  favor  while  below. 

With  the  God  above. 
In  our  hearts  the  Spirit  mild, 
Which  adorned  the  Saviour-child, 
Gently  soothe  each  impulse  wild 

To  the  sway  of  love.

Lead  us  all  our  journey  through 

By  thy  guiding  hand  ; 
And  when  life  on  earth  is  o'er. 
Where  the  blest  dwell  evermore, 
May  we  praise  thee  and  adore.

1  I  THINK,  when  I  read  that  sweet  story 

of  old, 
When  Jesus  was  here  among-  men, 
How  he  called  little  children  as  lambs  to 

his  fold, 
I  should  like  to  have  been  with  him  then. 

2  I  wish  that  his  hands  had  been  placed 

on  my  head, 
That  his  arms  had  been  thrown  around 

me. 
That  I  might  have  seen  his  kind  look  when 

he  said, 
"Let  the  little  ones  come  unto  me." 

3  Yet  still  to  his  footstool  in  prayer  I  may 

go. 
And  ask  for  a  share  in  his  love ; 
And  if  I  thus  earnestly  seek  him  below, 
I  shall  see  him  and  hear  him  above : 

COLMAN.       C.  M. 


4  In  that  beautiful  place  he  has  gone  to 
prepare. 

For  all  who  are  washed  and  forgiven ; 
And  many  dear  children  are  gathering  there, , 

"  For  of  such  is  the  kingdom  of  heaven." 

Mrs.  Jemima  Iiuke.

1  Mighty  One,  before  whose  face 
Wisdom  had  her  glorious  seat. 

When  the  orbs  that  people  space 
Sprang  to  birth  beneath  thy  feet;

Light  the  mighty  world  of  mind ; 

God  of  love,  who  from  thy  throne 
Kindly  watchest  all  mankind; 

3  Shed  on  those  who  in  thy  name 
Teach  the  way  of  truth  and  right. 

Shed  that  love's  undying  flame, 
Shed  that  wisdom's  guiding  light.

O  O  O     The  Lord 's  love  to  cliildrcn. 

1  When,  his  salvation  bringing. 
To  Zion  Jesus  came, 

The  children  all  stood  singing 

Hosanna  to  his  name  ; 
Nor  did  their  zeal  offend  him. 

But  as  he  rode  along, 
He  let  them  still  attend  him, 

And  smiled  to  hear  their  song. 

2  And  since  the  Lord  retaineth 
His  love  to  children  still, 

Though  now  as  King  he  reigneth 
On  Zion's  heavenly  hill. 

We  '11  flock  around  his  banner, 
We  '11  bow  before  his  throne. 

And  cry  aloud,  "  Hosanna 
To  David's  royal  Son." 

3  For  should  we  fail  proclaiming 
Our  great  Redeemer's  praise. 

The  stones,  our  silence  shaming, 
Would  their  hosannas  raise. 

But  shall  we  only  render 
The  tribute  of  our  words? 

No ;  while  our  hearts  are  tender, 
They  too  shall  be  the  Lord's. 

John  "SiJig.

0  O  -i  Grateful  praise. 

1  We  bring  no  glittering  treasures. 
No  gems  from  earth's  deep  mine; 

We  come,  with  simple  measures, 
To  chant  Thy  love  divine. 

Children,  thy  favors  sharing. 

Their  voice  of  thanks  would  raise; 

Father,  accept  our  offering. 
Our  song  of  grateful  praise. 

2  The  dearest  gift  of  Heaven, 
Love's  written  word  of  truth. 

To  us  is  early  given, 

To  guide  our  steps  in  youth; 
We  hear  the  wondrous  story. 

The  tale  of  Calvary  ; 
We  read  of  homes  in  glorj-. 

From  sin  and  sorrow  free. 

3  Redeemer,  grant  thy  blessingt 
O  teach  us  how  to  pray, 

That  each,  thy  fear  possessing, 
May  tread  life's  onward  way ; 

Then,  where  the  pure  are  dwelling 
We  hope  to  meet  again, 

And,  sweeter  numbers  swelling. 
Forever  praise  thy  name.

O  O  O       Shepherd  of  tender  youth. 
2  Thou  art  our  holy  Lord, 
The  all-subduing  Word, 

Healer  of  strife:' 
Thou  didst  thyself  abase, 
That  from  sin's  deep  disgrace 
Thou  mightest  save  our  race. 

And  give  us  life. 
8  Thou  art  the  great  High  Priest ; 
Thou  hast  prepared  the  feast 

Of  heavenly  love; 
While  in  our  mortal  pain 
None  calls  on  thee  in  vain ; 
Help  thou  dost  not  disdain, 

Help  from  above. 

4  Ever  be  thou  our  guide. 
Our  shepherd  and  our  pride, 

Our  staff  and  song : 
Jesus,  thou  Christ  of  God, 
By  thy  perennial  word 
Lead  us  where  thou  hast  trod. 

Make  our  faith  strong. 

5  So  now,  and  till  we  die, 
Sound  we  thy  praises  high. 

And  joyful  sing : 
Infants,  and  the  glad  throng 
Who  to  thy  Church  belong, 
Unite  to  swell  the  song 

To  Christ  our  King. 
-40einen.t  of  Alexandria,  (220.)    Tr.  by  H.  M.  Dexter.

0  o  O  Harly  piety. 

1  I  LOVE  to  hear  the  story 
Which  angel  voices  tell. 

How  once  the  King  of  glory 
Came  down  on  earth  to  dwell. 

1  am  both  weak  and  sinful. 

But  this  I  surely  know. 
The  Lord  came  down  to  save  me, 
Because  he  loved  me  so. 

2  I  'm  glad  my  blessed  Saviour 
Was  once  a  child  Hke  me. 

To  show  how  pure  and  holy 

His  little  ones  may  be; 
And  if  I  try  to  follow 

His  footsteps  here  below, 
He  never  will  forget  me. 

Because  he  loves  me  so. 

3  To  sing  his  love  and  mercy 
My  sweetest  songs  I  '11  raise ; 

And  though  I  cannot  see  him 
I  know  he  hears  my  praise; 

For  he  has  kindly  promised 
That  even  I  may  go 

To  sing  among  his  angels. 
Because  he  loves  me  so.

Lost  by  the  fiery,  maddening  bowl.

We  do  it  unto  thee.

When  all  the  worlds  are  thine  ?

And  wilt  confess  their  humble  names 
Before  thy  Father's  face.

And  visited  and  cheered  ; 

And  in  their  accents  of  distress 
My  Saviour's  voice  is  heard.

How  widely  roll  its  waves  ! 

How  many  myriads  hath  it  brought 
To  fill  dishonored  graves  ! 

3  And  see,  O  Lord,  what  numbers  still 
Are  maddened  by  the  bowl. 

Led  captive  at  the  tyrant's  will 
In  bondage,  heart  and  soul. 

4  Stretch  forth  thy  hand,  O  God,  our  King, 
And  break  the  galling  chain  ; 

Deliverance  to  the  captive  bring. 
And  end  the  usurper's  reign.

Her  costliest  present  brought ; 

To  crown  his  head,  or  grace  his  name, 
No  gift  too  rare  she  thought. 

2  So  let  the  Saviour  be  adored. 
And  not  the  poor  despised  ; 

Give  to  the  hungry  from  your  hoard. 
But  all,  give  all  to  Christ. 

3  Go,  clothe  the  naked,  lead  the  blind. 
Give  to  the  weafy  rest ; 

For  sorrow's  children  comfort  find. 
And  help  for  all  distressed ; 

4  But  give  to  Christ  alone  thy  heart. 
Thy  faith,  thy  love  supreme  ; 

Then  for  his  sake  thine  alms  impart. 
And  so  give  all  to  him.

By  lane  and  cell  obscure. 

And  let  love's  treasures  still  be  spent. 
Like  his,  upon  the  poor. 

2  Like  him,  through  scenes  of  deep  distress. 
Who  bore  the  world's  sad  weight. 

We,  in  their  crowded  loneliness. 
Would  seek  the  desolate. 

3  For  thou  hast  placed  us  side  by  side 
In  this  wide  world  of  ill ; 

And  that  thy  followers  may  be  tried. 
The  poor  are  with  us  still. 

4  Mean  are  all  offerings  we  can  make ; 
Yet  thou  hast  taught  us,  Lord, 

If  given  for  the  Saviour's  sake. 
They  lose  not  their  reward.

Hast  power  to  aid  or  bless ; 

Whose  aching  heart  or  burning  brow 
Thy  soothing  hand  may  press. 

2  Thy  neighbor?    'Tis  the  fainting  poor, 
whose  eye  with  want  is  dim;

With  aid  and  peace  for  him.

When  sorrow  drowns  the  brim ; 
With  words  of  high,  sustaining  hope. 

Go  thou  and  comfort  him.

Perhaps  thou  canst  redeem 
A  breaking  heart  from  misery ; 

Go,  share  thy  lot  with  him.

'Tis  thine  alone  to  give ; 

To  lift  the  poor  inebriate  up, 
And  bid  the  helpless  live. 

2  Life  from  the  dead !   For  those  we  plead ' 
Fast  bound  in  passion's  chain. 

That,  from  their  iron  fetters  freed, 
They  wake  to  life  again. 

3  Life  from  the  dead  !   Quickened  by  thee, . 
Be  all  their  powers  inclined 

To  temperance,  truth,  and  piety. 
And  pleasures  pure,  refined. 

4  And  may  they  by  thy  help  abide. 
The  tempter's  power  withstand; 

By  gi'ace  restored  and  purified. 
In  Christ  accepted  stand.

2  A  messenger  from  God  was  there, 
To  break  his  chain  and  bid  him  rise ; 

And  lo !  the  saint,  as  free  as  air, 

Walked  forth  beneath  the  open  skies. 

3  Chains  yet  more  strong  and  cruel  bind 
'      The  victims  of  that  deadly  thirst 

Which  drowns  the  soul,  and  from  the  mind 
Blots  the  bright  image  stamped  at  first. 

4  O  God  of  love  and  mercy,  deign 
To  look  on  those  with  pitying  eye 

Who  struggle  with  that  fatal  chain, 
And  send  them  succor  from  on  high ! 

5  Send  down,  in  its  resistless  might. 
Thy  gracious  Spirit,  we  implore. 

And  lead  the  captive  forth  to  light, 
A  rescued  soul,  a  slave  no  more ! 

WilUam  C.  Bryant.

1  Bondage  and  death  the  cup  contains; 
Dash  to  the  earth  the  poisoned  bowl ! 

Softer  than  silk  are  iron  chains. 

Compared  with  those  that  chafe  the  soul. 

2  Hosannas,  Lord,  to  thee  we  sing. 
Whose  power  the  giant  fiend  obeys  ; 

What  countless  thousands  tribute  bring. 
For  happier  homes  and  brighter  days! 

3  Thou  wilt  not  break  the  bruised  reed, 
Nor  leave  the  broken  heart  unbound  ; 

The  wife  regains  a  husband  freed  ! 
The  orphan  clasps  a  father  found ! 

4  Spare,  Lord,  the  thoughtless,  guide  the 

blind. 
Till  man  no  more  shall  deem  it  just 
To  live  by  forging  chains  to  bind 
His  weaker  brother  in  the  dust.

Life's  twilight  path,  with  pitfalls  strewn ; 
And  'twere  an  idle  boast  to  talk 
Of  treading  that  dim  path  alone. 

3  Amid  the  snares  misfortune  lays 
Unseen,  beneath  the  steps  of  all, 

Elest  is  the  love  that  seeks  to  raise. 

And  stay,  and  strengthen  those  who  fall ; 

4  Till,  taught  by  Him  who  for  our  sake 
Bore  every  form  of  life's  distress.

The  sum  of  human  sorrow  less.

a^X  /  That  glorious  anthem. 

1  Soon  may  the  last  glad  song-  arise, 
Through  all  the  millions  of  the  skies  ; 
That  song  of  triumph  which  records 
That  all  the  earth  is  now  the  Lord's. 

2  Let  thrones,  and  powers,  and  kingdoms 

be 
Obedient,  mighty  God,  to  thee; 
And  over  land,  and  stream,  and  main. 
Now  wave  the  scepter  of  thy  reign. 

3  O  let  that  glorious  anthem  swell ; 
Let  host  to  host  the  triumph  tell. 
Till  not  one  rebel  heart  remains, 
But  over  all  the  Saviour  reigns. 

Mrs.  Voke. 

«7Xo  The  time  to  favor  Zion. 

1  Sovereign  of  worlds !    display  thy 

power ; 
Be  this  thy  Zion's  favored  hour; 
O  bid  the  morning  star  arise, 

0  point  the  heathen  to  the  skies. 

2  Set  up  thy  throne  where  Satan  reigns. 
In  western  wilds  and  eastern  plains  ; 
Far  let  the  gospel's  sound  be  known; 
Make  thou  the  universe  thine  own. 

3  Speak,  and  the  world  shall  hear  thy  voice ; 
Speak,  and  the  desert  shall  rejoice  : 
Dispel  the  gloom  of  heathen  night ; 

Bid  every  nation  hail  the  light. 

Mrs.  Voke. 

yJLJ         Chrkfs  all-einbracing  empire. 

1  Jesus  shall  reign  where'er  the  sun 
Does  his  successive  journeys  run  ; 


340 


His  kingdom  spread  from  shore  to  shore. 
Till  moons  shall  wax  and  wane  no  more. 

2  From  north  to  south  the  princes  meet. 
To  pay  their  homage  at  his  feet ; 
While  western  empires  own  their  Lord, 
And  savage  tribes  attend  his  word. 

3  To  him  shall  endless  prayer  be  made, 
And  endless  praises  crown  his  head  ; 
His  name  like  sweet  perfume  shall  rise 
With  every  morning  sacrifice. 

4  People  and  realms  of  every  tongue 
Dwell  on  his  love  with  sweetest  song, 
And  infant  voices  shall  proclaim 
Their  early  blessings  on  his  name. 

Isaac  Watts. 

y  /4  U  Triumphs  of  mercy. 

1  Arm  of  the  Lord,  awake,  awake! 
Put  on  thy  strength,  the  nations  shake, 
And  let  the  world,  adoring,  see 
Triumphs  of  mercy  wrought  by  thee. 

2  Say  to  the  heathen,  from  thy  throne, 
"  I  am  Jehovah,  God  alone :  " 

Thy  voice  their  idols  shall  confound. 
And  cast  their  altars  to  the  ground. 

3  No  more  let  creature  blood  be  spilt. 
Vain  sacrifice  for  human  guilt ! 

But  to  each  conscience  be  applied 
The  blood  that  flowed  from  Jesus'  side. 

4  Almighty  God,  thy  grace  proclaim. 
In  every  land,  of  every  name ; 

Till  adverse  powers  before  thee  fall, 
And  crown  the  Saviour,  Lord  of  all.

That  Christ  all  glory  shall  obtain ; 

That  he  who  once  a  sufferer  bled 

Shall  o'er  the  world  a  conqueror  reign. 

2  We  wait  thy  triumph.  Saviour  King; 
Long  ages  have  prepared  thy  way; 

Now  all  abroad  thy  banner  fling, 
Set  time's  great  battle  in  array. 

3  Thy  hosts  are  mustered  to  the  field  ; 
"The  Cross!  the  Cross!"  the  battle-call 

The  old  grim  towers  of  darkness  yield, 
And  soon  shall  totter  to  their  fall. 

4  On  mountain  tops  the  watch-fires  glow, 
Where  scattered  wide  the  watchmen  stand 

Voice  echoes  voice,  and  onward  flow 
The  joyous  shouts  from  land  to  land. 

5  O  fill  thy  Church  with  faith  and  power, 
Bid  her  long  night  of  weeping  cease; 

To  groaning  nations  haste  the  hour 
Of  life  and  freedom,  light  and  peace. 

6  Come,  Spirit,  make  thy  wonders  known. 
Fulfill  the  Father's  high  decree ; 

Then  earth,  the  might  of  hell  o'erthrown, 
Shall  keep  her  last  great  jubilee.

Along  the  line,  to  either  pole, 

The  anthem  of  thy  praise  to  roll.

Our  hopes  revive ;  our  courage  raise  ; 
Our  counsels  aid ;  to  each  impart 

The  single  eye,  the  faithful  heart.

Recall  the  wandering  spirits  home  ; 
From  Zion's  mount  send  forth  the  sound.

The  freedom  Jesus  has  to  give. 

2  Come,  let  us,  with  a  grateful  heart. 
In  this  blest  labor  share  a  part; 

Our  prayers  and  offerings  gladly  bring 
To  aid  the  triumphs  of  our  King. 

3  Our  hearts  exult  in  songs  of  praise 
That  we  have  seen  these  latter  days, 
When  our  Redeemer  shall  be  known 
Where  Satan  long  hath  held  his  throne. 

4  Where'er  his  hand  hath  spread  the  skies, 
Sweet  incense  to  his  name  shall  rise; 
And  slave  and  freeman,  Greek  and  Jew, 
By  sovereign  grace  be  formed  anew.

O  God  of  mercy  and  of  might ! 

In  pity  look  on  those  who  stray, 
Benighted,  in  this  land  of  light. 

2  In  peopled  vale,  in  lonely  glen, 

In  crowded  mart,  by  stream  or  sea, 
How  many  of  the  sons  of  men 

Hear  not  the  message  sent  from  thee ! 

3  Send  forth  thy  heralds,  Lord,  to  call 
The  thoughtless  young,  the  hardened  old, 

A  scattered,  homeless  flock,  till  all 
Be  gathered  to  thy  peaceful  fold. 

4  Send  them  thy  mighty  word  to  speak, 
Till  faith  shall  dawn,  and  doubt  depart, 

To  awe  the  bold,  to  stay  the  weak. 
And  bind  and  heal  the  broken  heart. 

5  Then  all  these  wastes,  a  dreary  scene. 
That  make  us  sadden  as  we  gaze, 

Shall  grow  with  living  waters  green, 
And  lift  to  heaven  the  voice  of  praise.

1  From  Greenland's  icy  mountains, 
From  India's  coral  strand  ; 

Where  Afric's  sunny  fountains 
Roll  down  their  golden  sand  ; 

From  many  an  ancient  river. 
From  many  a  palmy  plain, 

They  call  us  to  deliver 

Their  land  from  error's  chain. 

2  What  though  the  spicy  breezes 
Blow  soft  o'er  Ceylon's  isle  ; 

Though  every  prospect  pleases. 

And  only  man  is  vile.? 
In  vain  with  lavish  kindness 

The  gifts  of  God  are  strown ; 
The  heathen  in  his  blindness 

Bows  down  to  wood  and  stone. 

3  Shall  we,  whose  souls  are  lighted 
With  wisdom  from  on  high, 

Shall  we  to  men  benighted 

The  lamp  of  life  deny.? 
Salvation  !  O  salvation ! 

The  joyful  sound  proclaim. 
Till  earth's  remotest  nation 

Has  learned  Messiah's  name.

And  you,  ye  waters,  roll. 
Till,  like  a  sea  of  glory. 

It  spreads  from  pole  to  pole : 
Till  o'er  our  ransomed  nature 

The  Lamb  for  sinners  slain, 
Redeemer,  King,  Creator, 

In  bliss  returns  to  reign.

Safe  to  the  destined  shore ;

Who  boldest  in  thine  arm 

The  tempests  of  the  ocean. 
Protect  them  from  all  harm  ! 

Thy  presence.  Lord,  be  with  them. 
Wherever  they  may  be  ; 

Though  far  from  us  who  love  them. 
Still  let  them  be  with  thee.

Speed  on  from  east  to  west, 

Till  all,  his  cross  beholding. 

In  him  are  fully  blest. 
Great  Author  of  salvation. 

Haste,  haste  the  glorious  day, 
When  we,  a  ransomed  nation. 

Thy  scepter  shall  obey ! 

Mrs.  Maria  I".  Anderson. 

"04  The  universal  anthem. 

1  When  shall  the  voice  of  singing 
Flow  joyfully  along, 

When  hill  and  valley,  ringing 

With  one  triumphant  song. 
Proclaim  the  contest  ended. 

And  Him  who  once  was  slain, 
Again  to  earth  descended, 

In  righteousness  to  reign? 

2  Then  from  the  cragg)'  mountams 
The  sacred  shout  shall  fly ; 

And  shady  vales  and  fountains 

Shall  echo  the  reply. 
High  tower  and  lowly  dwelling 

Shall  send  the  chorus  round. 
All  hallelujahs  swelling 

In  one  eternal  sound!

Higher  yet  that  star  ascends. 

Traveler,  blessedness  and  light, 

Peace  and  tiTith,  its  course  portends! 

Watchman,  will  its  beams  alone 
Gild  the  spot  that  gave  them  birth? 

Traveler,  ages  are  its  own, 

See,  it  bursts  o'er  all  the  earth ! 

3  Watchman,  tell  us  of  the  night. 
For  the  morning  seems  to  dawn. 

Traveler,  darkness  takes  its  flight ; 

Doubt  and  terror  are  withdrawn. 
Watchman,  let  thy  wandering  cease; 

Hie  thee  to  thy  quiet  home  ! 
Traveler,  lo  !  the  Prince  of  peace, 

Lo !  the  Son  of  God  is  come  ! 

Sir  John  Botrrtiig. 

i/OO  The  word  glorified. 

1  See  how  great  a  flame  aspires. 

Kindled  by  a  spark  of  grace! 
Jesus'  love  the  nations  fires. 

Sets  the  kingdoms  on  a  blaze. 
To  bring  fire  on  earth  he  came ; 

Kindled  in  some  hearts  it  is : 


346 


O  that  all  might  catch  the  flame, 
All  partake  the  glorious  bliss ! 

2  When  he  first  the  work  begun. 
Small  and  feeble  was  his  day : 

Now  the  word  doth  swiftly  run  ; 

Now  it  wins  its  widening  way : 
More  and  more  it  spreads  and  grows. 

Ever  mighty  to  prevail ; 
Sin's  strongholds  it  now  o'erthrows. 

Shakes  the  trembling  gates  of  hell. 

3  Sons  of  God,  your  Saviour  praise! 
He  the  door  hath  opened  wide; 

He  hath  given  the  word  of  grace; 

Jesus'  word  is  glorified. 
Jesus,  mighty  to  redeem. 

He  alone  the  work  hath  wrought, 
Worthy  is  the  work  of  him. 

Him  who  spake  a  world  from  naught 

4  Saw  ye  not  the  cloud  arise, 
Little  as  a  human  hand  } 

Now  it  spreads  along  the  skies. 
Hangs  o'er  all  the  thirsty  land ; 

Lo !  the  promise  of  a  shower 
Drops  already  from  above; 

But  the  Lord  will  shortly  pour 
All  the  Spirit  of  his  love. 

Charles  Wesley.

When,  beneath  Messiah's  sway, 

Every  nation,  every  clime, 
Shall  the  gospel  call  obey. 

2  Mightiest  kings  his  power  shall  own ; 
Heathen  tribes  his  name  adore ; 

Satan  and  his  host,  o'erthrown, 

Bound  in  chains,  shall  hurt  no  more.

Then  be  banished  grief  and  pain ; 

Righteousness,  and  joy,  and  peace, 
Undisturbed,  shall  ever  reign.

When  it  breaks  upon  the  shore: 
Hallelujah  !  for  the  Lord 

God  omnipotent  shall  reign ; 
Hallelujah !  let  the  word 

Echo  round  the  earth  and  main. 
2  Hallelujah ! — hark !  the  sound. 

From  the  center  to  the  skies. 
Wakes  above,  beneath,  around, 

All  creation's  harmonies : 
See  Jehovah's  banner  furled, 

Sheathed  his  sword:  he  speaks — 'tis  done. 
And  the  kingdoms  of  this  world 

Are  the  kingdoms  of  his  Son.

3  He  shall  reign  from  pole  to  pole 

With  illimitable  sway ; 
He  shall  reign,  when,  like  a  scroll, 

Yonder  heavens  have  passed  away : 
Then  the  end ; — beneath  his  rod, 

Man's  last  enemy  shall  fall; 
Hallelujah !  Christ  in  God, 

God  in  Christ,  is  all  in  all.

Like  the  beams  of  morning,  fly  ; 

Take  the  wonder-working  rod  ; 
Wave  the  banner-cross  on  high. 

2  Where  the  lofty  minaret 
Gleams  along  the  morning  skies. 

Wave  it  till  the  crescent  set, 
And  the  "  Star  of  Jacob  "  rise. 

3  Go  to  many  a  tropic  isle 
In  the  bosom  of  the  deep. 

Where  the  skies  forever  smile. 
And  the  oppressed  forever  weep. 

4  O'er  the  pagan's  night  of  care 
Pour  the  living  light  of  heaven, 

Chase  away  his  dark  despair. 
Bid  him  hope  to  be  forgiven. 

5  Where  the  golden  gates  of  day 
Open  on  the  palmy  East, 

High  the  bleeding  cross  display  ; 
Spread  the  gospel's  richest  feast, 

6  Bear  the  tidings  round  the  ball. 
Visit  every  soil  and  sea ; 

Preach  the  cross  of  Christ  to  all, 
Christ,  whose  love  is  full  and  free.

We  now  desire  to  flee  ;

How  swift  they  glide  away ! 

How  short  the  term  of  life  appears 
When  past — but  as  a  day ! —

Clouded  by  grief  and  sin ; 

A  host  of  enemies  without. 
Distressing  fear~  within.

If  thou  permit  our  stay, 

W^h  diligence  may  we  pursue 
The  true  and  living  way.

To  God,  who  lengthens  out  our  days  ; 
Who  spares  us  yet  another  year, 

And  makes  us  see  his  goodness  here  :

2  How  often,  when  his  arm  was  bared, 
Hath  he  our  sinful  Israel  spared  ! 

"  Let  me  alone!"  his  mercy  cried, 
And  turned  the  vengeful  bolt  aside ; 
Indulged  another  kind  reprieve. 
And  strangely  suffered  us  to  live. 

3  Merciful  God,  how  shall  we  raise 
Our  hearts  to  pay  thee  all  thy  praise.'' 
Our  hearts  shall  beat  for  thee  alone  ; 
Our  lives  shall  make  thy  goodness  known ; 
Our  souls  and  bodies  shall  be  thine, 

A  living  sacrifice  divine.

\30Ai  A  sole^nn  vigil. 

1  How  many  pass  the  guilty  night 
In  reveling  and  frantic  mirth  ! 

The  creature  is  their  sole  delight, 

Their  happiness  the  things  of  earth  : 
For  us  suffice  the  season  past ; 
We  choose  the  better  part  at  last. 

2  We  will  not  close  our  wakeful  eyes. 
We  will  not  let  our  eyelids  sleep. 


t 


352 


But  humbly  lift  them  to  the  skies, 

And  all  a  solemn  vigil  keep ; 
So  many  years  on  sin  bestowed, 
Can  we  not  watch  one  night  for  God? 

3  We  can,  O  Jesus,  for  thy  sake. 
Devote  our  every  hour  to  thee; 

Speak  but  tlie  word,  our  souls  shall  wake, 

And  sing  with  cheerful  melody  : 
Thy  praise  shall  our  glad  tongues  employ. 
And  every  heart  shall  dance  for  joy. 

4  Blest  object  of  our  faith  and  love, 
We  listen  for  thy  welcome  voice ; 

Our  persons  and  our  works  approve. 
And  bid  us  in  thy  strength  rejoice ; 
Now  let  us  hear  the  mighty  cry, 
And  shout  to  find  the  Bridegroom  nigh. 

5  Shout  in  the  midst  of  us,  O  King 
Of  saints,  and  let  our  joys  abound  ; 

Let  us  rejoice,  give  thanks,  and  sing. 
And  triumph  in  redemption  found: 
We  ask  in  faith  for  every  soul ; 
O  let  our  glorious  joy  be  full ! 

6  O  may  we  all  triumphant  rise ; 
With  joy  upon  our  heads  return  ; 

And,  far  above  these  nether  skies. 
By  thee  on  eagle  wings  upborne. 
Through  all  yon  radiant  circles  move, 
And  gain  the  highest  heaven  of  love!

The  God  of  ages,  praise, 

Who  reigns  enthroned  on  high, 
Ancient  of  endless  days  ; 
Who  lengthens  out  our  trials  here. 
And  spares  us  yet  another  year. 

2  Barren  and  withered  trees. 
We  cumbered  long  the  ground ; 

No  fruit  of  holiness 

On  our  dead  souls  was  found  ; 
Yet  doth  he  us  in  mercy  spare. 
Another  and  another  year. 

3  When  justice  bared  the  sword 
To  cut  the  hg-tree  down, 

The  pity  of  the  Lord 

Cried,  "  Let  it  still  alone  : " 
The  Father  mild  inclines  his  ear. 
And  spares  us  yet  another  year. 

4  Jesus,  thy  speaking  blood 
From  God  obtained  the  grace, 

Who  therefore  hath  bestowed 
On  us  a  longer  space ; 
Thou  didst  in  our  behalf  appear. 
And,  lo,  we  see  another  year! 

5  Then  dig  about  the  root, 
Break  up  our  fallow  ground. 

And  let  our  gracious  fruit 
To  thy  great  praise  abound ; 
O  let  us  ill!  thy  praise  declare, 
And  fruit  unto  perfection  bear. 

Charlea  Wesley.

How  frail  my  best  estate.

Mine  age  is  naught  with  thee; 
And,  in  his  highest  honor,  man 
Is  dust  and  vanity.

Of  earthly  beauty  flies  ; 

And  grief  shall  like  a  moth  consun' 
All  that  delights  our  eyes.

Hearken  to  my  request ; 

Turn  not  in  silence  from  my  tears. 
But  give  the  mourner  rest. 

5  O  spare* me  yet,  I  pray; 
Awhile  my  strength  restore, 

Ere  1  am  summoned  hence  away, 
And  seen  on  earth  no  more.

And  spend  the  remnant  to  thy  praise.

A  Httle  point  my  life  appears ; 

How  frail,  at  best,  is  dying  man ! 

How  vain  are  all  his  hopes  and  fears ! 

3  Vain  his  ambition,  noise,  and  show; 
Vain  are  the  cares  which  rack  his  mind ;

With  all  their  cares  and  fears, 

Are  carried  downward  by  the  flood, 
And  lost  in  following  years.

Bears  all  its  sons  away ; 

They  fly,  forgotten,  as  a  dream 
Dies  at  the  opening  day.

As  days  and  months  increase ; 

And  every  beating  pulse  we  tell 
Leaves  but  the  number  less. 

3  The  year  rolls  round,  and  steals  away 
The  breath  that  first  it  gave  : 

Whate'er  we  do,  where'er  we  be. 
We  're  traveling  to  the  grave. 

4  Dangers  stand  thick  through  all  the 

ground 
To  push  us  to  the  tomb; 
And  fierce  diseases  wait  around. 
To  hurry  mortals  home. 

5  Infinite  joy,  or  endless  woe. 
Attends  on  every  breath  ; 

And  yet  how  unconcerned  we  go. 
Upon  the  brink  of  death ! 

6  Waken,  O  Lord,  our  drowsy  sense 
To  walk  this  dangerous  road  ; 

And  if  our  souls  are  hurried  hence. 
May  they  be  found  with  God  ! 

Isaac  Watts. 
Doxology. 
To  Father,  Son,  and  Holy  Ghost, 

The  God  whom  we  adore.

And  shall  be  evermore.

966  The  hrink  of  fate. 

1  Thou  God  of  glorious  majesty, 
To  thee,  against  myself,  to  thee, 

A  worm  of  earth,  I  cry; 
A  half-awakened  child  of  man, 
An  heir  of  endless  bliss  or  pain, 

A  sinner  born  to  die. 

2  Lo!  on  a  narrow  neck  of  land, 
'Twixt  two  unbounded  seas,  I  stand. 

Secure,  insensible: 
A  point  of  time,  a  moment's  space. 
Removes  me  to  that  heavenly  place. 

Or  shuts  me  up  in  hell. 

3  O  God,  mine  inmost  soul  convert. 
And  deeply  on  my  thoughtful  heart 

Eternal  things  impress : 
Give  me  to  feel  their  solemn  weight. 
And  tremble  on  the  brink  of  fate. 

And  wake  to  righteousness. 

VENETIA.       C.   P.   M. 


4  Before  me  place  in  dread  array, 
The  pomp  of  that  tremendous  day, 

When  thou  with  clouds  shalt  come 
To  judge  the  nations  at  thy  bar; 
And  tell  me.  Lord,  shall  I  be  there 

To  meet  a  joyful  doom  ? 

5  Be  this  my  one  great  business  here. 
With  serious  industry  and  fear 

Eternal  bliss  to  insure; 
Thine  utmost  counsel  to  fulfill. 
And  suffer  all  thy  righteous  will, 

And  to  the  end  endure. 

6  Then,  Saviour,  then  my  soul  receive. 
Transported  from  this  vale,  to  live 

And  reign  with  thee  above. 
Where  faith  is  sweetly  lost  in  sight. 
And  hope  in  full,  supreme  delight. 

And  everlasting  love. 

Charles  Wesley.

1  If  death  my  friend  and  me  divide, 
Thou  dost  not,  Lord,  my  sorrow  chide. 

Or  frown  my  tears  to  see  ; 
Restrained  from  passionate  excess. 
Thou  bidd'st  me  mourn  in  calm  distress 

For  them  that  rest  in  thee. 

2  I  feel  a  strong  immortal  hope, 
Which  bears  my  mournful  spirit  up, 

Beneath  its  mountain  load  ; 
Redeemed    from  death,  and  grief,  and 

pain, 
I  soon  shall  find  my  friend  again 

Within  the  arms  of  God. 

3  Pass  a  few  fleeting  moments  more, 
And  death  the  blessing  shall  restore 

Which  death  has  snatched  away; 
For  me  thou  wilt  the  summons  send. 
And  give  me  back  my  parted  friend. 

In  that  eternal  day. 

Charles  Wesley.

The  momentoiis  question. 


1  And  am  I  only  born  to  die? 
And  must  I  suddenly  comply 

With  nature's  stern  decree? 
What  after  death  for  me  remains  ? 
Celestial  joys,  or  hellish  pains, 

To  all  eternity ! 

2  How  then  ought  I  on  earth  to  live. 
While  God  prolongs  the  kind  reprieve, 

And  props  the  house  of  clay? 
My  sole  concern,  my  single  care. 
To  watch,  and  tremble,  and  prepare 

Against  that  fatal  day. 

3  No  room  for  mirth  or  trifling  here, 
For  worldly  hope,  or  worldly  fear, 

If  life  so  soon  is  gone; 
If  now  the  Judge  is  at  the  door. 
And  all  mankind  must  stand  before 

The  inexorable  throne  I 

4  No  matter  which  my  thoughts  employ, 
A  moment's  misery  or  joy; 

But  0  !  when  both  shall  end. 


359 


Where  shall  I  find  my  destined  place? 
Shall  I  ray  everlasting  days 
With  fiends,  or  angels  spend? 

5  Nothing  is  worth  a  thought  beneath. 
But  how  I  may  escape  the  death 

That  never,  never  dies; 
How  make  mine  own  election  sure; 
And,  when  I  fail  on  earth,  secure 

A  mansion  in  the  skies. 

6  Jesus,  vouchsafe  a  pitying  ray; 
Be  thou  my  guide,  be  thou  my  way 

To  glorious  happiness. 
Ah !  write  the  pardon  on  my  heart. 
And  whensoe'er  I  hence  depart. 

Let  me  depart  in  peace. 

diaries  Wesley.

i/  U  y    The  dying  Christian  to  his  souk 

1  Vital  spark  of  heavenly  flame. 
Quit,  O  quit  this  mortal  frame ; 
Trembling,  hoping,  lingering,  flying, 
O  the  pain,  the  bliss  of  dying ! 
Cease,  fond  nature,  cease  thy  strife. 
And  let  me  languish  into  life. 

2  Hark!  they  whisper:  angels  say, 
"Sister  spirit,  come  away!"

1  Why  do  we  mourn  for  dying-  friends, 
Or  shake  at  death's  alarms  ? 

'Tis  but  the  voice  that  Jesus  sends, 
To  call  them  to  his  arms. 

2  Are  we  not  tending  upward  too, 
As'  fast  as  time  can  move  } 

Nor  should  we  wish  the  hours  more  slow, 
To  keep  us  from  our  love. 

3  Why  should  we  tremble  to  convey 
Their  bodies  to  the  tomb? 

There  once  the  flesh  of  Jesus  lay. 
And  left  a  long  perfume. 

4  The  graves  of  all  his  saints  he  blest, 
And  softened  every  bed  : 

Where  should  the  dying  members  rest, 
But  with  their  dying  Head  .'' 

5  Thence  he  arose,  ascending  high. 
And  showed  our  feet  the  way: 

Up  to  the  Lord  our  flesh  shall  fly. 
At  the  great  rising-day. 

G  Then  let  the  last  loud  trumpet  sound, 

And  bid  our  kindred  rise : 
Awake,  ye  nations  under  ground  ; 

Ye  saints,  ascend  the  skies  ! 

Isaac  Watta. 

y  «  -L  To  die  is  gain. 

1  Why  should  our  tears  in  sorrow  flow 

When  God  recalls  his  own, 
And  bids  them  leave  a  world  of  woe, 

For  an  immortal  crown? 


360 


2  Is  not  e'en  death  a  gain  to  those 
Whose  life  to  God  was  given  ? 

Gladly  to  earth  their  eyes  they  close, 
To  open  them  in  heaven. 

3  Their  toils  are  past,  their  work  is  done. 
And  they  are  fully  blest ; 

They  fought  the  fight,  the  victory  won, 
And  entered  into  rest. 

4  Then  let  our  sorrows  cease  to  flow; 
God  has  recalled  his  own  ; 

But  let  our  hearts,  in  every  woe, 
Still  say,  "Thy  will  be  done." 

"William  H-  Bathnrst.

1  Hark  !  from  the  tombs  a  doleful  sound ; 
My  ears,  attend  the  cry: 

"Ye  hving  men,  come  view  the  ground 
Where  you  must  shortly  lie. 

2  "Princes,  this  clay  must  be  your  bed. 
In  spite  of  all  your  towers  ; 

The  tall,  the  wise,  the  reverend  head. 
Must  lie  as  low  as  ours." 

3  Great  God  !  is  this  our  certain  doom? 
And  are  we  still  secure? 

Still  walking  downward  to  the  tomb. 
And  yet  prepared  no  more? 

4  Grant  us  the  power  of  quickening  grace 
To  fit  our  souls  to  fly ; 

Then,  when  we  drop  this  dying  flesh, 
We  '11  rise  above  the  sky.

1  Through  sorrow's  night,  and  danger's 

path, 
Amid  the  deepening  gloom, 
We,  followers  of  our  suffering  Lord, 
Are  marching  to  the  tomb. 

2  There,  when  the  turmoil  is  no  more, 
And  all  our  powers  decay. 

Our  cold  remains  in  solitude 
Shall  sleep  the  years  away. 

3  Our  labors  done,  securely  laid 
In  this  our  last  retreat. 

Unheeded,  o'er  our  silent  dust. 
The  storms  of  earth  shall  beat. 

4  Yet  not  thus  buried,  or  extinct, 
The  vital  spark  shall  lie  ; 

For  o'er  life's  wreck  that  spark  shall  rise 
To  seek  its  kindred  sky. 

5  These  ashes,  too,  this  little  dust, 
Our  Father's  care  shall  keep. 

Till  the  last  angel  rise  and  break 
The  long  and  dreary  sleep. 

H.  Kirke  White. 

y  /  ■*  Peaceful  departure. 

1  Behold  the  western  evening  light ! 
It  melts  in  deepening  gloom  : 

So  calmly  Christians  sink  away. 
Descending  to  the  tomb. 

2  The  winds  breathe  low,  the  withering  leaf 
Scarce  whispers  from  the  tree : 

So  gently  flows  the  parting  breath. 
When  good  men  cease  to  be. 

3  How  beautiful  on  all  the  hills 
The  crimson  light  is  shed  ! 


361 


'Tis  like  the  peace  the  Christian  gives 
To  mourners  round  his  bed. 

4  How  mildly  on  the  wandering  cloud 
The  sunset  beam  is  cast ! 

'Tis  like  the  memory  left  behind 
When  loved  ones  breathe  their  last.    • 

5  And  now  above  the  dews  of  night 
The  rising  star  appears  : 

So  faith  springs  in  the  heart  of  those 
Whose  eyes  are  bathed  in  tears. 

6  But  soon  the  morning's  happier  light 
Its  glory  shall  restore  ; 

And  eyelids  that  are  sealed  in  death 
Shall  wake  to  close  no  more. 

William  B.  O.  Peabody. 

975     Thou  art  with  me.— Vs.  2.3  :  4. 

1  That  solemn  hour  will  come  for  me, 
When,  though  their  charms  I  own, 

All  human  ties  resigned  must  be  ; 
For  I  must  die  alone. 

2  All  earthly  pleasures  will  be  o'er. 
All  earthly  labors  done. 

And  I  shall  tread  the  eternal  shore. 
And  I  must  die  alone. 

3  But  O,  I  will  not  view  with  dread 
That  shadowy  vale  unknown : 

I  see  a  light  within  it  shed  ; 
I  shall  not  die  alone ! 

4  One  will  be  with  me  there,  whose  voice 
I  long  have  loved  and  known ; 

To  die  is  now  my  wish,  my  choice : 
I  shall  not  die  alone!

y  *  O     Chrlifs  presence  makes  dying  easy. 

1  Why  should  we  start,  and  fear  to  die  ? 
What  timorous  worms  we  mortals  are! 

Death  is  the  gate  to  endless  joy, 
And  yet  we  dread  to  enter  there. 

2  The  pains,  the  groans,  the  dying  strife. 
Fright  our  approaching  souls  away ; 

And  we  shrink  back  again  to  life. 
Fond  of  our  prison  and  our  clay. 

3  O  would  my  Lord  his  servant  meet. 

My  soul  would  stretch  her  wings  in  haste. 
Fly  fearless  through  death's  iron  gate. 
Nor  feel  the  terrors  as  she  passed. 

4  Jesus  can  make  a  dying  bed 
Feel  soft  as  downy  pillows  are, 

While  on  his  breast  I  lean  my  head. 
And  breathe  my  life  out  sweetly  there. 

Isaac  Watts.

As  fearless  of  the  evening  cold.

Parched  by  the  sun's  directer  ray. 

The  momentary  glories  waste. 

The  short-lived  beauties  die  away. 

3  So  blooms  the  human  face  divine. 

When  youth  its  pride  of  beauty  shows  : 
Fairer  than  spring  the  colors  shine. 
And  sweeter  than  the  virgin  rose.

Or  broke  by  sickness  in  a  day, 

The  fading  glory  disappears, 

The  short-lived  beauties  die  away. 

5  Yet  these,  new  rising  from  the  tomb, 
With  luster  brighter  far  shall  shine, 

Revive  with  ever-during  bloom. 
Safe  from  diseases  and  decline. 

6  Let  sickness  blast,  let  death  devour, 

If  heaven  must  recompense  our  pains; 
Perish  the  grass,  and  fade  the  flower. 
If  firm  the  word  of  God  remains. 

Samuel  Wesley,  Jr. 

y  /  O     The  memory  of  the  just  is  blessed. 
Prov.  10:  7. 

1  Earth's  transitory  things  decay ; 
Its  pomps,  its  pleasures,  pass  away ; 
But  the  sweet  memory  of  the  good 
Survives  in  the  vicissitude. 

2  As,  'mid  the  ever-rolling  sea. 
The  eternal  isles  established  be, 
'Gainst  which  the  surges  of  the  main 
Fret,  dash,   and  break  themselves  in 

vain; 

3  As,  in  the  heavens,  the  urns  divine 
Of  golden  light  forever  shine; 
Though  clouds  may  darken,  storms  may 

rage. 
They  still  shine  on  from  age  to  age; 

4  So,  through  the  ocean-tide  of  years. 
The  memopy'  of  the  just  appears  ; 

So,  through  the  tempest  and  the  gloom. 
The  good  man's  virtues  light  the  tomb.

1  Asleep  in  Jesus!  blessed  sleep, 
From  which  none  ever  wakes  to  weep ! 
A  calm  and  undisturbed  repose, 
Unbroken  by  the  last  of  foes. 

2  Asleep  in  Jesus !  O  how  sweet 
To  be  for  such  a  slumber  meet ! 
With  holy  confidence  to  sing-, 

That  Death  hath  lost  his  venomed  sting. 

3  Asleep  in  Jesus!  peaceful  rest. 
Whose  waking  is  supremely  blest! 
No  fear,  no  woe,  shall  dim  that  hour 
That  manifests  the  Saviour's  power. 

4  Asleep  in  Jesus!  O  for  me 
May  such  a  blissful  refuge  be! 
Securely  shall  my  ashes  lie. 
Waiting  the  summons  from  on  high. 

5  Asleep  in  Jesus  !  far  from  thee 
Thy  kindred  and  their  graves  may  be ; 
But  thine  is  still  a  blessed  sleep. 
From  which  none  ever  wakes  to  weep. 

Mrs.  Margaret  Mackay. 

yoU     The  Christian'' s  parting  hour. 

1  How  sweet  the  hour  of  closing  day. 
When  all  is  peaceful  and  serene. 

And  when  the  sun,  with  cloudless  ray. 
Sheds  mellow  luster  o'er  the  scene! 

2  Such  is  the  Christian's  parting  hour; 
So  peacefully  he  sinks  to  rest ; 

When  faith,  endued  from   hea\en  with 
power. 
Sustains  and  cheers  his  languid  breast.

3  Mark  but  that  radiance  of  his  eye. 
That  smile  upon  his  wasted  cheek; 

They  tell  us  of  his  glory  nigh. 

In  language  that  no  tongue  can  speak. 

4  A  beam  from  heaven  is  sent  to  cheer 
The  pilgrim  on  his  gloomy  road ; 

And  angels  are  attending  near. 
To  bear  him  to  their  bright  abode. 

5  Who  would  not  wish  to  die  like  those 
Whom  God's  own  Spirit  deigns  to  bless? 

To  sink  into  that  soft  repose. 

Then  wake  to  perfect  happiness? 

■WiUiam  H.  Batliurat. 

y  O  J-  The  vision  of  faith. 

1  Shall  man,  O  God  of  light  and  life. 
Forever  molder  in  the  grave.'' 

Canst  thou  forget  thy  glorious  work, 
Thy  promise,  and  thy  power  to  save  ? 

2  In  those  dark,  silent  realms  of  night. 
Shall  peace  and  hope  no  more  arise.'* 

No  future  morning  light  the  tomb. 
Nor  day-star  gild  the  darksome  skies? 

3  Cease,  cease,  ye  vain,  desponding  fears: 
When  Christ,  our  Lord,  from  darkness 

sprang. 
Death,  the  last  foe,  was  captive  led. 

And  heaven  with  praise  and  wonder  rang. 

4  Faith  sees  the  bright,  eternal  doors 
Unfold,  to  make  his  children  way; 

They  shall  be  clothed  with  endless  life, 
And  shine  in  everlasting  day.

\3o4i  Blessed  are  the  dead  viliich  die  in  the  Lord. 

1  How  blest  the  righteous  when  he  dies ! 
When  sinks  a  weary  soul  to  rest. 

How  mildly  beam  the  closing  eyes, 

How  gently  heaves  the  expiring  breast ! 

2  So  fades  a  surhmer  cloud  away; 

So  sinks  the  gale  when  storms  are  o'er ; 
So  gently  shuts  the  eye  of  day ; 
So  dies  a  wave  along  the  shore. 

3  A  holy  quiet  reigns  around, 

A  calm  which  life  nor  death  destroys ; 
And  naught  disturbs  that  peace  profound 
Which  his  unfettered  soul  enjoys. 

4  Farewell,  conflicting  hopes  and  fears, 
Where  lights  and  shades  alternate  dwell ; 

How  bright  the  unchanging  morn  appears! 
Farewell,  inconstant  world,  farewell ! 

5  Life's  labor  done,  as  sinks  the  clay, 
Light  from  its  load  the  spirit  flies. 

While  heaven  and  earth  combine  to  say, 
"How  blest  the  righteous  when  he  dies!" 

Mrs.  Anne  Ii.  Baxbauld,  alt. 

i/OO  Disembodied  saints. 

1  The  saints  who  die  of  Christ  possessed, 
Enter  into  immediate  rest ; 

For  them  no  further  test  remains, 
Of  purging  fires  and  torturing  pains. 

2  Who  trusting  in  their  Lord  depart. 
Cleansed  from  all  sin,  and  pure  in  heart. 
The  bliss  unmixed,  the  glorious  prize, 
They  find  with  Christ  in  paradise. 

3  Yet,  glorified  by  grace  alone, 

They  cast  their  crowns  before  the  throne. 
And  fill  the  echoing  courts  above 
With  praises  of  redeeming  love. 

Cbarles  Wesley.

yO't  Resting  in  peace. 

1  Unveil  thy  bosom,  faithful  tomb  ; 
Take  this  new  treasure  to  thy  trust. 

And  give  these  sacred  relics  room 
To  slumber  in  the  silent  dust. 

2  Nor  pain,  nor  grief,  nor  anxious  fear 
Invade  thy  bounds  ;  no  mortal  woes 

Can  reach  the  peaceful  sleeper  here. 
While  angels  watch  the  soft  repose. 

3  So  Jesus  slept ;  God's  dying  Son 
Passed  through  the  grave,  and  blest  the 

bed; 
Rest  here,  blest  saint,  till  from  his  throne 
The  morning  break,  and  pierce  the  shade. 

4  Break  from  his  throne,  illustrious  morn  ! 
Attend,  O  earth,  his  sovereign  word ! 

Restore  thy  trust;  a  glorious  form 
Shall  then  ascend  to  meet  the  Lord. 

Isaac  Watts.

iioO  Victory  over  death. 

1  O  FOR  an  overcoming  faith, 
To  cheer  my  dying  hours. 

To  triumph  o'er  approaching  Death, 
And  all  his  frightful  powers  ! 

2  Joyful,  with  all  the  strength  I  have. 
My  quivering  lips  should  sing, 

"  Where  is  thy  boasted  victory.  Grave  ? 
And  where,  O  Death,  thy  sting.?" 

3  If  sin  be  pardoned,  I'm  secure; 
Death  has  no  sting  beside: 

The  law  gives  sin  its  damning  power, 
But  Christ,  my  ransom,  died. 

4  Now  to  the  God  of  victory 
Immortal  thanks  be  paid. 

Who  makes  us  conquerors,  while  we  die. 
Through  Christ,  our  living  Head. 

Isaac  Wotta.

And  heavier  toils  shall  close  ;

987  Death  of  childre7i. 

1  Thy  life  I  read,  my  gracious  Lord, 
With  transport  all  divine  ; 

Thine  image  trace  in  every  word. 
Thy  love  in  every  line. 

2  Methinks  I  see  a  thousand  charms 
Spread  o'er  thy  lovely  face, 

While  infants  in  thy  tender  arms 
Receive  the  smiling  grace. 

3  "I  take  these  little  lambs,"  said  he, 
"  And  lay  them  in  my  breast ; 

Protection  they  shall  find  in  me. 
In  me  be  ever  blest. 


4  "Death  may  the  bands  of  life  unloose. 

But  can't  dissolve  my  love ; 
Millions  of  infant  souls  compose 

The  family  above." 

Samuel  Stennett. 
y  o  O     The  sharp^iess  of  death  overcome. 

1  Calm  on  the  bosom  of  thy  God, 
Fair  spirit,  rest  thee  now ! 

E'en  while  with  us  thy  footsteps  trod, 
His  seal  was  on  thy  brow. 

2  Dust,  to  its  narrow  house  beneath ! 
Soul,  to  its  place  on  high ! 

They  that  have  seen  thy  look  in  death, 
No  more  may  fear  to  die. 

3  Lone  are  the  paths,  and  sad  the  bowers. 
Whence  thy  meek  smile  is  gone; 

But  O,  a  brighter  home  than  ours, 
In  heaven  is  now  thine  own. 

Mrs.  Felicia  B.  Hemans.

1  When  the  last  trumpet's  awful  voice 
This  rending  earth  shall  shake  ; 

When  openinggraves  shall  yield  their  charge, 
And  dust  to  life  awake  ; 

2  Those  bodies  that  corrupted  fell 
Shall  incorrupt  arise, 

And  mortal  forms  shall  spring  to  life 

Immortal  in  the  skies. 
8  Behold,  what  heavenly  prophets  sung 

Is  now  at  last  fulfilled  ; 
And  Death  yields  up  his  ancient  reign, 

And,  vanquished,  quits  the  field. 
4  Let  Faith  exalt  her  joyful  voice, 

And  now  in  triumph  sing : 
"O  Grave,  where  is  thy  victory? 

And  where,  O  Death,  thy  sting?"

One  wretched  sinner  die ;

Show  me  the  way  to  shun 

Thy  dreadful  wrath  severe, 
That  when  thou  comest  on  thy  throne 

I  may  with  joy  appear. 

Charles  Wesley. 

y  y  /  For  victory  in  death. 

1  When  on  the  brink  of  death 
My  trembling  soul  shall  stand, 

Waiting  to  pass  that  awful  flood. 
Great  God,  at  thy  command, — 

2  When  every  scene  of  life 
Stands  ready  to  depart. 

And  the  last  sigh  that  shakes  the  frame 
.  Shall  rend  this  bursting  heart, — 

3  Thou  Source  of  joy  supreme. 
Whose  arm  alone  can  save. 

Dispel  the  darkness  that  surrounds 
The  entrance  to  the  grave. 

4  Lay  thy  supporting  hand 
Beneath  my  sinking  head; 

And  with  a  ray  of  love  divine 
Illume  my  dying  bed. 

5  Leaning  on  Jesus'  breast. 
May  I  resign  my  breath  ; 

And  in  his  kind  embraces  lose 
The  bitterness  of  death.

2  I  would  not  live  alway ;  no,  welcome  the 

tomb! 
Since  Jesus  hath  lain  there,  I  dread  not  its 

gloom  ; 
There  sweet  be  my  rest  till  he  bid  me  arise, 
To  hail  him  in  triumph  descending  the  skies. 

3  Who,  who  would  live  alway,  away  from 

his  God  ; 
Away  from  yon  heaven,  that  blissful  abode, 
Where  the  rivers  of  pleasure  flow  o'er  the 

bright  plains. 
And  the  noontide  of  glory  eternally  reigns  ? 

4  Where  the  saints  of  all  ages  in  harmony 

meet. 
Their  Saviour  and  brethren  transported  to 

greet; 
While  the  anthems  of  rapture  unceasingly 

roll. 
And  the  smile  of  the  Lord  is  the  feast  of 

the  soul.

1  Thou  art  gone  to  the  grave ;  but  we  will 
not  deplore  thee. 
Though  sorrows  and  darkness  encom- 
pass the  tomb ; 

24  369 


Thy  Saviour  has  passed  through  its  portal 
before  thee. 
And  the  lamp  of  his  love  is  thy  guide 
through  the  gloom. 

2  Thou  an  gone  to  the  grave ;  we  no  longer 
behold  thee. 

Nor  tread  the  rough  path  of  the  world  by 

thy  side : 
But  ^he  wide  arms  of  mercy  are  spread  to 

enfold  thee. 
And  sinners  may  die,  for  the  Sinless  hath 

died. 

3  Thou  art  gone  to   the  grave;    and,  its 
mansion  forsaking, 

Perchance  thy  weak  spirit  in  fear   lin- 
gered long ; 
But  the  mild  rays  of  paradise  beamed  ons 
thy  waking, 
And  the  sound  which  thou  heardst  was: 
the  seraphim's  song. 

4  Thou  art  gone  to  the  grave ;  but  we  will 
not  deplore  thee ; 

Whose  God  was  thy  ransom,  thy  guard- 
ian, and  guide  : 
He  gave  thee,  he  took  thee,  and  he  will  re- 
store thee ; 
And  death  has  no  sting,  for  the  Saviour 
has  died.

When  from  flesh  the  spirit  freed 
Hastens  homeward  to  return.

Angels  sing,  "  A  child  is  born!" 

4  Born  into  the  world  above,

Bear  him  to  the  throne  of  love. 
Place  him  at  the  Saviour's  feet :

Good  and  faithful  servant  thou ! 

Enter,  and  receive  thy  crown  ; 
Reign  with  me  triumphant  now."

Mercy  still  is  on  the  throne; 

With  thy  smiles  of  love  returning. 
We  can  sing,  "Thy  will  be  done."

Thou  hast  taken  but  thine  own :

All  thy  mourning  days  below  ; 

Go,  by  angel  guards  attended, 

To  the  sight  of  Jesus  go  ! 
Waiting  to  receive  thy  spirit, 

Lo  !  the  Saviour  stands  above; 
Shows  the  purchase  of  his  merit, 

Reaches  out  the  crown  of  love. 

2  Struggle  through  thy  latest  passion. 
To  thy  great  Redeemer's  breast. 

To  his  uttermost  salvation, 

To  his  everlasting  rest. 
For  the  joy  he  sets  before  thee. 

Bear  a  momentary  pain  ; 
Die,  to  live  a  life  of  glor}' ; 

Suffer,  with  thy  Lord  to  reign.

1  Deathless  spirit,  now  arise; 
Soar,  thou  native  of  the  skies ! 
Pearl  of  price  by  Jesus  bought. 

To  his  glorious  likeness  wrought,— 

2  Go,  to  shine  before  the  throne ; 
Deck  the  Mediator's  crown  ; 
Go,  his  triumphs  to  adorn  ; 
Made  for  God,  to  God  return. 

3  Lo  !  he  beckons  from  on  high ; 
Fearless  to  his  presence  fly: 
Thine  the  merit  of  his  blood. 
Thine  the  righteousness  of  God. 

4  Angels,  joyful  to  attend, 
Hovering  round  thy  pillow,  bend  ; 
Wait  to  catch  the  signal  given. 
And  convey  thee  quick  to  heaven. 

5  Shudder  not  to  pass  the  stream : 
Venture  all  thy  care  on  him, — 
Him,  whose  dying  love  and  power 
Stilled  its  tossings,  hushed  its  roar. 

6  Safe  is  the  expanded  wave. 
Gentle  as  a  summer's  eve ; 
Not  one  object  of  his  care 
Ever  suffered  shipwreck  there. 

7  See  the  haven  full  in  view : 

Love  divine  shall  bear  thee  through; 
Trust  to  that  propitious  gale ; 
Weigh  thine  anchor,  spread  thy  sail. 

8  Saints  in  glory,  perfect  made, 
Wait  thy  passage  through  the  shade ; 
Ardent  for  thy  coming  o'er, 

See,  they  throng  the  blissful  shore.

Now  the  darling  child  is  dead.? 
He  to  early  rest  is  gone. 

He  to  paradise  is  fled : 

1  shall  go  to  him,  but  he 
Never  shall  return  to  me. 

2  God  forbids  his  longer  stay ; 
God  recalls  the  precious  loan ; 

God  hath  taken  him  away. 

From  my  bosom  to  his  own : 
Surely  what  he  wills  is  best ; 
Happy  in  his  will  I  rest. 

3  Faith  cries  out,  "  It  is  the  Lord, 
Let  him  do  as  seems  him  good !  " 

Be  thy  holy  name  adored  ;

Take  the  child  no  longer  mine ;

The  death-cup  for  our  sake.

JLUU  /      On.  <7te  death  of  a  little  child. 

1  Tender  Shepherd,  thou  hast  stilled 
Now  thy  little  lamb's  brief  weeping: 

Ah,  how  peaceful,  pale,  and  mild 
In  its  narrow  bed  'tis  sleeping  ! 
And  no  sigh  of  anguish  sore 
Heaves  that  little  bosom  more. 

2  In  this  world  of  care  and  pain, 
Lord,  thou  wouldst  no  longer  leave  it; 

To  the  sunny  heavenly  plain 

Thou  dost  now  with  joy  receive  it; 
Clothed  in  robes  of  spotless  white. 
Now  it  dwells  with  thee  in  light. 

3  Ah,  Lord  Jesus,  grant  that  we 
Where  it  lives  may  soon  be  living, 

And  the  lovely  pastures  see 

That  its  heavenly  food  are  giving; 
Then  the  gain  of  death  we  prove, 
Though  thou  take  what  most  we  love. 

From  the  Qenuan.    Tr.  by  Miss  C.  "Winkworth. 

[6.   Tune,Jewett.    Page  241.] 
-lUUo    For  a  child'' s  funeral. 
1  Go  to  thy  rest,  fair  child ! 
Go  to  thy  dreamless  bed. 


373 


Gentle,  and  meek,  and  mild. 
With  blessings  on  thy  head. 

Fresh  roses  in  thy  hand, 
Buds  on  thy  pillow  laid, 

Haste  from  this  blighting  land. 
Where  flowers  so  quickly  fade. 

2  Before  thy  heart  could  learn 
In  waywardness  to  stray ; 

Before  thy  feet  could  turn 

The  dark  and  downward  way; 

Ere  sin  could  wound  thy  breast, 
Or  sorrow  wake  the  tear; 

Rise  to  thy  home  of  rest. 
In  yon  celestial  sphere ! 

3  Because  thy  smile  was  fair. 
Thy  lip  and  eye  so  bright. 

Because  thy  cradle-care 
Was  such  a  fond  delight ; 

Shall  love,  with  weak  embrace, 
Thy  heavenward  flight  detain  ? 

No,  angel !  seek  thy  place 
Amid  yon  cherub  train.

Where  life  is  not  a  breath. 
Nor  life's  affection  transient  fire, 
Whose  sparks  fly  upward  to  expire. 

3  There  is  a  world  above, 
Where  parting  is  unknown ; 

A  whole  eternity  of  love. 

Formed  for  the  good  alone  : 
And  faith  beholds  the  dying  here 
Translated  to  that  happier  sphere. 

4  Thus  star  by  star  declines. 
Till  all  are  passed  away, 

As  morning  high  and  higher  shines. 

To  pure  and  perfect  day  ; 
Nor  sink  those  stars  in  empty  night ; 
They  hide  them.selves  in  heaven's  own 
light. 

James  Montgomery.

XUJLU     Present  with  the  Lord. 

1  The  precious  seed  of  weeping 
To-day  we  sow  once  more, 

The  form  of  one  now  sleeping. 
Whose  pilgrimage  is  o'er. 

Ah!  death  but  safely  lands  him 
Where  we  too  would  attain  ; 

Our  Father's  voice  demands  him, 
And  death  to  him  is  gain. 

2  He  has  what  we  are  wanting, 
He  sees  what  we  believe ; 

The  sins  on  earth  so  haunting 
Have  there  no  power  to  grieve; 

Safe  in  his  Saviour's  keeping, 
Who  sent  him  calm  release, — 

'Tis  only  we  are  weeping,— 
He  dwells  in  perfect  peace. 

3  The  crown  of  life  he  weareth, 
He  bears  the  shining  palm. 

The  "  Holy,  holy,"  shareth. 
And  joins  the  angels'  psalm ; 

But  we,  poor  pilgrims,  wander 
Still  through  this  land  of  woe. 

Till  we  shall  meet  him  yonder. 
And  all  his  joy  shall  know.

1  Weep  not  for  a  brother  deceased, 
Our  loss  is  his  infinite  gain  ; 

A  soul  out  of  prison  released, 
And  freed  from  its  bodily  chain ; 

With  songs  let  us  follow  his  flight, 
And  mount  with  his  spirit  above. 

Escaped  to  the  mansions  of  light, 
And  lodged  in  the  Eden  of  love. 

2  Our  brother  the  haven  hath  gained, 
Outflying  the  tempest  and  wind ; 

His  rest  he  hath  sooner  obtained, 
And  left  his  companions  behind, 

Still  tossed  on  a  sea  of  distress. 

Hard  toiling  to  make  the  blest  shore. 

Where  all  is  assurance  and  peace, 
And  sorrow  and  sin  are  no  more. 

3  There  all  the  ship's  company  meet, 
Who  sailed  with  the  Saviour  beneath  ; 

With  shouting  each  other  they  greet, 
And  triumph  o'er  sorrow  and  death  : 

The  voyage  of  life  's  at  an  end  ; 
The  mortal  affliction  is  past ; 

The  age  that  in  heaven  they  spend, 
Forever  and  ever  shall  last. 

Charles  Wesley. 


LU±/«         The  grave  disarmed. 

1  Man  dieth  and  wasteth  away, 

And  where  is  he? — Hark!  from  the  skies, 

1  hear  a  voice  answer  and  say, 

"  The  spirit  of  man  never  dies ! 
His  body,  which  came  from  the  earth, 

Must  mingle  again  with  the  sod ; 
His  soul,  which  in  heaven  had  birth, 

Returns  to  the  bosom  of  God." 

2  No  terror  has  death,  or  the  grave. 
To  those  who  believe  in  the  Lord, 

Who  know  the  Redeemer  can  save. 
And  lean  on  the  faith  of  his  word : 

While  ashes  to  ashes,  and  dust 
We  give  unto  dust,  in  our  gloom, 

The  light  of  salvation  we  trust. 

Which  hangs  like  a  lamp  in  the  tomb. 

3  O  Lord  God  Almighty !  to  thee 
We  turn,  as  our  solace  above ; 

The  waters  may  fail  from  the  sea, 
But  never  thy  fountains  of  love: 

O  teach  us  thy  will  to  obey. 

And  sing  with  one  heart  and  accord, 

"  He  gave,  and  he  taketh  away, 
And  praised  be  the  name  of  the  Lord."

2  O  thou  long-expected,  weary- 
Waits  my  anxious  soul  for  thee ; 

Life  is  dark,  and  earth  is  dreary 
Where  thy  light  I  do  not  see: 

O  my  Saviour, 
When  wilt  thou  return  to  me  ? 

3  Long,  too  long,  in  sin  and  sadness, 
Far  away  from  thee  I  pine ; 

When,  O  when,  shall  I  the  gladness 
Of  thy  Spirit  feel  in  mine? 

O  my  Saviour, 
When  shall  I  be  wholly  thine  ? 

4  Nearer  is  my  soul's  salvation, 
Spent  the  night,  the  day  at  hand ; 

Keep  me  in  my  lowly  station. 
Watching  for  thee,  till  I  stand, 

O  my  Saviour, 
In  thy  bright  and  promised  land. 

5  With  my  lamp  well-trimmed  and  burning. 
Swift  to  hear,  and  slow  to  roam. 

Watching  for  thy  glad  returning 
To  restore  me  to  my  home  ; 

Come,  my  Saviour, 
O  my  Saviour,  quicklv  come!

Christ  is  coming! 
Come,  thou  blessed  Prince  of  peace ! 

2  Earth  can  now  but  tell  the  story 
Of  thy  bitter  cross  and  pain  ; 

She  shall  yet  behold  thy  glory- 
When  thou  comest  back  to  reign ; 

Christ  is  coming! 
Let  each  heart  repeat  the  strain. 

3  Long  thy  exiles  have  been  pining. 
Far  from  rest,  and  home,  and  thee  ; 

But,  in  heavenly  vesture  shining. 
Soon  they  shall  thy  glory  see ; 

Christ  is  coming! 
Haste  the  joyous  jubilee. 

4  With  that  "blessed  hope"  before  us, 
Let  no  harp  remain  unstining  ; 

Let  the  mighty  advent  chorus 

Onward  roll  from  tongue  to  tongue ; 

Christ  is  coming ! 
Come,  Lord  Jesus,  quickly  come !

1  The  day  of  wrath,  that  dreadful  day, 
When  heaven  and  earth  shall  pass  away ! 
What  power  shall  be  the  sinner's  stay? 
How  shall  he  meet  that  dreadful  day.? 

2  When,  shriveling  like  a  parched  scroll. 
The  flaming  heavens  together  roll ; 
And  louder  yet,  and  yet  more  dread, 
Swells  the  high  trump  that  Vv'akes  the  dead! 

3  O,  on  that  day,  that  wrathful  day, 
When  man  to  judgment  wakes  from  clay, 
Be  thou,  O  Christ,  the  sinner's  stay. 
Though  heaven  and  earth  shall  pass  away ! 

Sir  Walter  Scott. 

XUxO  The  Judge  sevei's. 

1  He  comes!  He  comes !  the  Judge  severe ! 
The  seventh  trumpet  speaks  him  near ; 
His  lightnings  flash,  his  thunders  roll ; 
How  welcome  to  the  faithful  soul  I 

2  From  heaven  angelic  voices  sound ; 
See  the  almighty  Jesus  crowned. 
Girt  with  omnipotence  and  grace! 
And  glory  decks  the  Saviour's  face. 

3  Descending  on  his  great  white  throne, 
He  claims  the  kingdoms  for  his  own  ; 
The  kingdoms  all  obey  his  word, 

And  hail  him  their  triumphant  Lord. 

4  Shout,  all  the  people  of  the  sky. 
And  all  the  saints  of  the  Most  High; 
Our  Lord,  who  now  his  right  obtains. 
Forever  and  forever  reigns. 

Charles  Wesley. 


X  U  _L  y      Safety  amid  general  dissolution. 

1  The  great  archangel's  trump  shall  sound. 
While  twice  ten  thousand  thunders  roar. 

Tear  up  the  graves,  and  cleave  the  ground. 
And  make  the  greedy  sea  restore. 

2  The  greedy  sea  shall  yield  her  dead  ; 
The  earth  no  more  her  slain  conceal; 

Sinners  shall  lift  their  guilty  head, 
And  shrink  to  see  a  yawning  hell. 

3  But  we,  who  now  our  Lord  confess, 
And  faithful  to  the  end  endure. 

Shall  stand  in  Jesus'  righteousness; 
Stand,  as  the  Rock  of  ages,  sure. 

4  We,  while  the  stars  from  heaven  shall  fall. 
And  mountains  are  on  mountains  hurled, 

Shall  stand  unmoved  amidst  them  all. 
And  smile  to  see  a  burning  world. 

5  The  earth  and  all  the  works  therein 
Dissolve,  by  raging  flames  destroyed, 

While  we  survey  the  awful  scene. 
And  mount  above  the  fiery  void. 

6  By  faith  we  now  transcend  the  skies, 
And  on  that  ruined  world  look  down: 

By  love  above  all  height  we  rise. 
And  share  the  everlasting  throne. 

Charles  Wesley. 
Dozohgy. 

Praise  God,  from  whom  all  blessings  flow; 
Praise  him,  all  creatures  here  below; 
Praise  him  above,  ye  heavenly  host ; 
Praise  Father,  Son,  and  Holy  Ghost.

1  That  awful  day  will  surely  come. 
The  appointed  hour  makes  haste, 

When  I  must  stand  before  my  Judge, 
And  pass  the  solemn  test. 

2  Jesus,  thou  Source  of  all  my  joys, 
Thou  Ruler  of  my  heart, 

How  could  I  bear  to  hear  thy  voice 
Pronounce  the  word,  "  Depart!" 

3  The  thunder  of  that  awful  word 
Would  so  torment  my  ear, 

'Twould  tear  my  soul  asunder.  Lord, 
With  most  tormenting  fear. 

4  What !  to  be  banished  from  my  Lord, 
And  yet  forbid  to  die! 

To  linger  in  eternal  pain. 
And  death  forever  fly! 

5  O  wretched  state  of  deep  despair, 
To  see  my  God  remove. 

And  fix  my  doleful  station  where 
I  must  not  taste  his  love  ! 

Isaac  Watts. 

XU^-L  The  final  account. 

1  And  must  I  be  to  judgment  brought, 
And  answer  in  that  day 

For  every  vain  and  idle  thought, 
And  every  word  I  say.-* 

2  Yes,  every  secret  of  my  heart 
Shall  shortly  be  made  known. 

And  I  receive  my  just  desert 
For  all  that  I  have  done. 

3  How  careful,  then,  ought  I  to  live. 
With  what  religious  fear!

Who  such  a  strict  account  must  give 
For  my  behavior  here. 

4  Thou  awful  Judge  of  quick  and  dead. 
The  watchful  power  bestow ; 

So  shall  I  to  my  ways  take  heed, — 
To  all  I  speak  or  do. 

5  If  now  thou  standest  at  the  door, 

0  let  me  feel  thee  near ; 

And  make  my  peace  with  God,  before

The  Judge  ordained  of  quick  and  dead ! 
O  Son  of  man,  so  pitying  found 
For  all  the  tears  thy  people  shed! 

2  Be  with  us  in  this  darkened  place, — 
This  weary,  restless,  dangerous  night ; 

And  teach,  O  teach  us,  by  thy  grace, 
To  struggle  onward  into  light ! 

3  And  since,  in  God's  recording  book, 
Our  sins  are  written,  every  one, — • 

The  crime,  the  wrath,  the  wandering  look, 
The  good  we  knew,  and  left  undone  ; 

4  Lord,  ere  the  last  dread  trump  be  heard. 
And  ere  before  thy  face  we  stand. 

Look  thou  on  each  accusing  word. 
And  blot  it  with  thy  bleeding  hand. 

5  And  by  the  love  that  brought  thee  here. 
And  by  the  cross,  and  by  the  grave. 

Give  perfect  love  for  conscious  fear. 
And  in  the  day  of  judgment  save.

JL  U  /*  pj  Day  of  wrath. 

2  Day  of  terror,  day  of  doom, 
"When  the  Judge  at  last  shall  come ! 
Through  the  deep  and  silent  gloom, 
Shrouding  every  human  tomb. 
Shall  the  archangel's  trumpet  tone 
Summon  all  before  the  throne. 

3  Then  the  writing  shall  be  read, 
Which  shall  judge  the  quick  and  dead; 
Then  the  Lord  of  all  our  race 

Shall  appoint  to  each  his  place ; 
Every  wrong  shall  be  set  right. 
Every  secret  brought  to  light. 

4  O  just  Judge,  to  whom  belongs 
Vengeance  for  all  earthly  wrongs. 
Grant  forgiveness.  Lord,  at  last. 
Ere  the  dread  account  be  past. 
Lo,  my  sighs,  my  guilt,  my  shame! 
Spare  me  for  thine  own  great  name. 

5  Thou,  who  bad'st  the  sinner  cease 
From  her  tears  and  go  in  peace, — 
Thou,  who  to  the  dying  thief 
Spakest  pardon  and  relief, — 
Thou,  O  Lord,  to  me  hast  given. 
E'en  to  me,  the  hope  of  heaven. 

Thomas  of  Celano.     Tr.  by  A.  P.  Stanley.

XU/54:       The  inexorable  Judge. 

1  Thou  Judge  of  quick  and  dead, 
Before  whose  bar  severe. 

With  holy  joy  or  guilty  dread, 

We  all  shall  soon  appear ; 
Our  cautioned  souls  prepare 

For  that  tremendous  day, 
And  fill  us  now  with  watchful  care, 

And  stir  us  up  to  pray: 

2  To  pray,  and  wait  the  hour. 
That  awful  hour  unknown. 

When,  robed  in  majesty  and  power, 
Thou  shalt  from  heaven  come  down, 

The  immortal  Son  of  man, 
To  judge  the  human  race. 

With  all  thy  Father's  dazzling  train, 
With  all  thy  glorious  grace. 

3  O  may  we  all  be  found 
Obedient  to  thy  word, 

Attentive  to  the  trumpet's  sound, 

And  looking  for  our  Lord. 
O  may  we  thus  insure 

A  lot  among  the  blest ; 
And  watch  a  moment  to  secure 

An  everlasting  rest.

With  smiles,  the  flaming  void ; 
Sees  this  universe  renewed. 

The  grand  millennial  reign  begun ; 
Shouts  with  all  the  sons  of  God, 

Around  the  eternal  throne.

By  the  just  expected  long, 

Long  implored,  at  length  he  hasteth, 
Cometh  with  salvation  strong. 

3  O  how  past  all  utterance  happy, 
Sweet  and  joyful  it  will  be 

When  they  who,  unseen,  have  loved  him, 
Jesus  face  to  face  shall  see! 

4  Blessed  then,  earth's  patient  mourners. 
Who  for  Christ  have  toiled  and  died, 

Driven  by  the  world's  rough  pressure 
In  those  mansions  to  abide ! 

5  What  will  be  the  bliss  and  rapture 
None  can  dream  and  none  can  tell, 

There  to  reign  among  the  angels, 
In  that  heavenly  home  to  dwell.

jU/&T  Supplication. 

1  When  thou,  my  righteous  Judge,  shalt  come 
To  take  thy  ransomed  people  home. 
Shall  I  among  them  stand  ? 


Shall  such  a  worthless  worm  as  I, 

Who  sometimes  am  afraid  to  die, 

Be  found  at  thy  right  hand  ? 

2  I  love  to  meet  thy  people  now, 
Before  thy  feet  with  them  to  bow, 

Though  vilest  of  them  all; 
But,  can  I  bear  the  piercing  thought. 
What  if  my  name  should  be  left  out, 

When  thou  for  them  shalt  call  ? 

3  O  Lord,  prevent  it  by  thy  grace; 
Be  thou  my  only  hiding-place. 

In  this  the  accepted  day; 
Thy  pardoning  voice  O  let  me  hear, 
To  still  my  unbelieving  fear. 

Nor  let  me  fall,  I  pray. 

4  Among  thy  saints  let  me  be  found, 
■Whene'er  the  archangel's  trump  shall 

sound. 
To  see  thy  smiling  face ; 
Then  loudest  of  the  throng  I  '11  sing, 
While    heaven's    resounding    mansions 
ring 
With  shouts  of  sovereign  grace.

The  Judge  of  man  I  see  appear, 

On  clouds  of  gloiy  seated:

The  dead  which  they  contained  before ; 

Prepare,  my  soul,  to  meet  him  ! 

2  The  dead  in  Christ  shall  first  arise, 
At  the  last  trumpet's  sounding. 

Caught  up  to  meet  him  in  the  skies. 
With  joy  their  Lord  surrounding: 

No  gloomy  fears  their  souls  dismay ; 

His  presence  sheds  eternal  day 
On  those  prepared  to  meet  him. 


3  But  sinners,  filled  with  guilty  fears, 
Behold  his  wrath  prevailing; 

For  they  shall  rise  and  find  their  tears 
And  sighs  arc  unavailing: 

The  day  of  grace  is  past  and  gone. 

Trembling  they  stand  before  the  throne, 
All  unprepared  to  meet  him. 

-i  Great  God !  what  do  I  see  and  hear ! 

The  end  of  things  created  ! 
The  Judge  of  man  I  see  appear, 

On  clouds  of  glory  seated : 
Beneath  his  cross  I  ^aew  the  day 
When  heaven  and  earth  shall  pass  away. 

And  thus  prepare  to  meet  him.

FIRST  PAET. 

J.  U  O  U     The  full  assurance  of  hope. 

1  How  happy  every  child  of  grace. 
Who  knows  his  sins  forgiven  ! 

"  This  earth,"  he  cries,  "  is  not  my  place, 
I  seek  my  place  in  heaven, — 

A  country  far  from  mortal  sight; 
Yet  O,  by  faith  I  see 

The  land  of  rest,  the  saints'  delight. 
The  heaven  prepared  for  me." 

2  O  what  a  blessed  hope  is  ours ! 
While  here  on  earth  we  stay. 

We  more  than  taste  the  heavenly  powers, 

And  antedate  that  day : 
We  feel  the  resurrection  near. 

Our  life  in  Christ  concealed. 
And  with  his  glorious  presence  here 

Our  earthen  vessels  filled. 

3  O  would  he  more  of  heaven  bestow, 
And  let  the  vessels  break. 

And  let  our  ransomed  spirits  go 

To  grasp  the  God  we  seek ; 
In  rapturous  awe  on  him  to  gaze. 

Who  bought  the  sight  for  me  ; 
And  shout  and  wonder  at  his  grace 

Through  all  eternity ! 

Charles  Wesley. 
SECOND   PAET. 

J-"o±     Endless  bliss  in  prospect. 

1  A  STRANGER  in  the  world  below, 

I  calmly  sojourn  here; 
Nor  can  its  happiness  or  woe 

Provoke  my  hppe  or  fear : 


Its  evils  in  a  moment  end, 

Its  joys  as  soon  are  past ; 
But  O,  the  bliss  to  which  I  tend 

Eternally  shall  last ! 

2  To  that  Jerusalem  above, 

With  singing  I  repair  ; 
While  in  the  flesh,  my  hope  and  love, 

My  heart  and  soul,  are  there. 
There  my  exalted  Saviour  stands. 

My  merciful  High  Priest ; 
And  still  extends  his  wounded  hands. 

To  take  me  to  his  breast. 

Charles  Wesley. 


THIRD   PAET. 

X  U  O  ^     The  prospect  joyous. 

1  And  let  this  feeble  body  fail, 
And  let  it  faint  or  die ; 

My  soul  shall  quit  the  mournful  rale. 
And  soar  to  worlds  on  high ; 

Shall  join  the  disembodied  saints. 
And  find  its  long-sought  rest, 

That  only  bliss  for  which  it  pants. 
In  the  Redeemer's  breast. 

2  In  hope  of  that  immortal  crown 
I  now  the  cross  sustain, 

And  gladly  wander  up  and  down. 

And  smile  at  toil  and  pain  : 
I  suffer  on  my  threescore  years. 

Till  my  Deliverer  come, 
And  wipe  away  his  servant's  tears. 

And  take  his  exile  home.

TIME  AND  ETERNITY— HEAVEN. 


3  O  what  hath  Jesus  bought  for  me! 
Before  my  ravished  eyes 

Rivers  of  life  divine  I  see, 

And  trees  of  paradise : 
I  see  a  world  of  spirits  bright, 

Who  taste  the  pleasures  there; 
They  all  are  robed  in  spotless  white, 

And  conquering  palms  they  bear. 

4  O  what  are  all  my  sufferings  here. 
If,  Lord,  thou  count  me  meet 

With  th'''  enraptured  host  to  appear. 

And  '-^^  irship  at  thy  feet ! 
Give  joy  or  grief,  give  ease  or  pain, 

Take  life  or  friends  away. 
But  let  me  find  them  all  again 

In  that  eternal  day.

1  Come,  let  us  join  our  friends  above 
That  have  obtained  the  prize, 

And  on  the  eagle  wings  of  love 

To  joys  celestial  rise. 
Let  all  the  saints  terrestrial  sing. 

With  those  to  glory  gone  ; 
For  all  the  servants  of  our  King, 

In  earth  and  heaven,  are  one. 

2  One  family  we  dwell  in  him. 
One  church  above,  beneath, 

Though  now  divided  by  the  stream, 
The  narrow  stream,  of  death. 

One  army  of  the  living  God, 
To  his  command  we  bow  ; 

Part  of  his  host  have  crossed  the  flood. 
And  part  are  crossing  now. 

BURLINGTON.      C.  M, 


3  Ten  thousand  to  their  endless  home 
This  solemn  moment  fly  ; 

And  we  are  to  the  margin  come. 

And  we  expect  to  die. 
His  militant  embodied  host, 

With  wishful  looks  we  stand, 
And  long  to  see  that  happy  coast, 

And  reach  the  heavenly  land. 

4  Our  old  companions  in  distress 
We  haste  again  to  see, 

And  eager  long  for  our  release, 

And  full  felicity. 
E'en  now  by  faith  we  join  our  hands 

With  those  that  went  before  ; 
And  greet  the  blood-besprinkled  bands 

On  the  eternal  shore. 

5  Our  spirits,  too,  shall  quickly  join. 
Like  theirs  with  glory  crowned, 

And  shout  to  see  our  Captain's  sign, 

To  hear  his  trumpet  sound. 
O  that  we  now  might  grasp  our  Guide  E 

O  that  the  word  were  given ! 
Come,  Lord  of  hosts,  the  waves  divide. 

And  land  us  all  in  heaven  ! 

Cliarles  Wesley. 

Doxoloffy. 
The  God  of  mercy  be  adored. 

Who  calls  our  souls  from  death. 
Who  saves  by  his  redeeming  word. 

And  new-creating  breath; 
To  praise  the  Father,  and  the  Son, 

And  Spirit  all-divine, — 
The  One  in  Three,  and  Three  in  One, — 

Let  saints  and  angels  join.

1  Ye  golden  lamps  of  heaven,  farewell, 
With  all  your  feeble  light ; 

Parewell,  thou  ever-changing  moon. 
Pale  empress  of  the  night. 

2  And  thou,  refulgent  orb  of  day. 
In  brighter  flames  arrayed, 

Ivly  soul,  that  springs  beyond  thy  sphere. 
No  more  demands  thine  aid. 

3  Ye  stars  are  but  the  shining  dust 
Of  my  divine  abode. 

The  pavement  of  those  heavenly  courts 
Where  1  shall  reign  with  God. 

4  The  Father  of  eternal  light 
Shall  there  his  beams  display. 

Nor  shall  one  moment's  darkness  mix 
With  that  unvaried  day. 

5  No  more  the  drops  of  piercing  grief 
Shall  swell  into  mine  eyes, 

Nor  the  meridian  sun  decline 
Amid  those  brighter  skies. 

6  There  all  the  millions  of  his  saints 
Shall  in  one  song  unite. 

And  each  the  bliss  of  all  shall  view 
With  infinite  delight.

Adorned  with  shining  g'race.

Removes  his  blest  abode  ; 

Men,  the  dear  objects  of  his  grace, 
And  he  the  loving  God. 

5  "  His  own  soft  hand  shall  wipe  the  tears 
From  every  weeping  eye  ; 

And  pains,  and  groans,  and  griefs,  and 
fears. 
And  death  itself,  shall  die." 

6  How  long,  dear  Saviour,  O  how  long 
Shall  this  bright  hour  delay .r" 

Fly  swifter  round,  ye  wheels  of  time. 
And  bring  the  welcome  day ! 

Isaao  Watts. 

JL  U  O  O     In  the  desert — heaven  before  us. 

1  Forth  to  the  land  of  promise  bound, 
Our  desert  path  we  tread  ; 

God's  fiery  pillar  for  our  guide. 
His  Captain  at  our  head. 

2  E'en  now  we  faintly  trace  the  hills. 
And  catch  their  distant  blue  ; 

And  the  bright  city's  gleaming  spires 
Rise  dimly  on  our  view. 

3  Soon,  when  the  desert  shall  be  crossed, 
The  flood  of  death  passed  o'er. 

Our  pilgrim  hosts  shall  safely  land 
On  Canaan's  peaceful  shore. 

4  There  love  shall  have  its  perfect  work. 
And  prayer  be  lost  in  praise ; 

And  all  the  servants  of  our  God 
Their  endless  anthems  raise.

1  There  is  a  land  of  pure  delight, 
Where  saints  immortal  reign; 

Infinite  day  excludes  the  night. 
And  pleasures  banish  pain. 

2  There  everlasting  spring  abides. 
And  never-withering  flowers : 

Death,  like  a  narrow  sea,  divides 
This  heavenly  land  from  ours. 

3  Sweet  fields  beyond  the  swelling  flood 
Stand  dressed  in  living  green; 

So  to  the  Jews  old  Canaan  stood, 
While  Jordan  rolled  between. 

4  Could  we  but  climb  where  Moses  stood, 
And  view  the  landscape  o'er, 

Not  Jordan's  stream,  nor  death's  cold  flood, 
Should  fright  us  from  the  shore. 

Isaac  Watts.

And  cast  a  wishful  eye 

To  Canaan's  fair  and  happy  land, 
Where  my  possessions  lie. 

2  O  the  transporting,  rapturous  scene, 
That  rises  to  my  sight ! 

Sweet  fields  arrayed  in  living  green. 
And  rivers  of  delight. 

3  O'er  all  those  wide-extended  plains 
Shines  one  eternal  day ; 

There  God  the  Son  forever  reigns, 
And  scatters  night  away. 

4  No  chilling  winds,  or  poisonous  breath. 
Can  reach  that  healthful  shore ;

Sickness  and  sorrow,  pain  and  death.

And  be  forever  blest  ? 

When  shall  I  see  my  Father's  face, 
And  in  his  bosom  rest .'' 

6  Filled  with  delight,  my  raptured  soul 
Would  here  no  longer  stay: 

Though  Jordan's  waves  around  me  roll, 
Fearless  I  'd  launch  away.

1039  The  land  of  rest 

1  There  is  an  hour  of  peaceful  rest, 
To  mourning  wanderers  given  ; 

There  is  a  joy  for  souls  distressed, 

A  balm  for  every  wounded  breast, 

'Tis  found  above,  in  heaven. 

2  There  is  a  home  for  weary  souls 
By  sin  and  sorrow  driven, 

When  tossed  on  hfe's  tempestuous  shoals. 
Where  storms  arise  and  ocean  rolls. 
And  all  is  drear  ;  'tis  heaven. 

3  There  faith  lifts  up  the  tearless  eye. 
To  brighter  prospects  given  ; 

And  views  the  tempest  passing  by. 
The  evening  shadows  quickly  fly, 
And  all  serene  in  heaven. 

4  There  fragrant  flowers  immortal  bloom, 
And  joys  supreme  are  given  ; 

There  rays  divine  disperse  the  gloom: 
Beyond  the  confines  of  the  tomb 
Appears  the  dawn  of  heaven.

And  streets  of  shining  gold  ?

Where  congregations  ne'er  break  up. 
And  Sabbath  has  no  end  ?

Around  my  Saviour  stand ; 

And  soon  my  friends  in  Christ  below 
Will  join  the  glorious  band.

The  saints  above,  how  great  their  joys. 
How  bright  their  glories  be. 

2  Once  they  Were  mourners  here  below. 
And  poured  out  cries  and  tears ; 

They  wrestled  hard,  as  we  do  now, 
With  sins,  and  doubts,  and  fears.

3  I  ask  them  whence  their  victory  came : 
They,  with  united  breath, 

Ascribe  their  conquest  to  the  Lamb, 
Their  triumph  to  his  death. 

4  They  marked  the  footsteps  that  he  trod; 
His  zeal  inspired  their  breast ; 

And,  following  their  incarnate  God, 
Possess  the  promised  rest. 

5  Our  glorious  Leader  claims  our  praise 
For  his  own  pattern  given ; 

While  the  long  cloud  of  witnesses 
Show  the  same  path  to  heaven.

In  a  vile  house  of  clay  ; 

But  Christ  will  to  the  utmost  save, 
And  keep  us  to  that  day. 

2  Our  souls  are  in  his  mighty  hand. 
And  he  shall  keep  them  still ; 

And  you  and  I  shall  surely  stand 
With  him  on  Zion's  hill. 

3  Him  eye  to  eye  we  there  shall  see, 
Our  face  like  his  shall  shine ; 

O  what  a  glorious  company. 
When  saints  and  angels  join! 

4  O  what  a  joyful  meeting  there ! 
In  robes  of  white  arrayed. 

Palms  in  our  hands  we  all  shall  bear, 
And  crowns  upon  our  head. 

5  Then  let  us  lawfiilly  contend, 
And  fight  our  passage  through  ; 

Bear  in  our  faithful  minds  the  end. 
And  keep  the  prize  in  view.

2  Sweet  bonds  that  unite  all  the  children  of 


peace 


And,  thrice  precious  Jesus,  whose  love  can- 
not cease, 
Though  oft  from  thy  presence  in  sadness  I  roam, 
I  long  to  behold  thee  in  glory,  at  home, 


3  I  sigh  from  this  body  of  sin  to  be  free. 
Which   hinders  my  joy  and   communion 

with  thee; 
Though  now  my  temptation  like  billows 

may  foam. 
All,  all  will  be  peace,  when  I  'm  with  thee 

at  home.

4  While   here   in  the   valley  of  conflict  I 

stay, 
O  give  me  submission,  and  strength  as  my 

day; 
In  all  my  afflictions  to  thee  would  I  come, 
Rejoicing  in  hope  of  my  glorious  home. 

5  Whate'er  thou  deniest,  O  give    me  thy 

grace, 
The  Spirit's  sure  witness,  and  smiles  of  thy 
face  •- 

HAVERHILL.       S.  M. 


Endue  me  with   patience  to  wait   at  thy 

throne. 
And  find,  even  now,  a  sweet  foretaste  of 

home. 
6  I  long,  dearest  Lord,  in  thy  beauties  to 

shine ; 
No  more  as  an  exile  in  sorrow  to  pine ; 
And  in  thy  dear  image  arise  from  the  tomb, 
With   glorified   millions  to  praise  thee  at 

nome.  David  Senliaia.

iUOO  Repose  in  heaven. 

2  Is  there  a  blissful  home, 
Where  kindred  minds  shall  meet, 

And  live  and  love,  nor  ever  roam 
From  that  serene  retreat? 

3  Are  there  bright,  happy  fields, 
Where  naught  that  blooms  shall  die; 

Where  each  new  scene  fresh  pleasure 
yields. 
And  healthful  breezes  sigh  ? 

4  Are  there  celestial  streams, 
Where  living  waters  glide. 

With  murmurs  sweet  as  angel-dreams, 
And  flowery  banks  beside.'' 

5  Forever  blessed  they. 
Whose  joyful  feet  shall  stand. 

While  endless  ages  waste  away, 
Amid  that  glorious  land  ! 

6  My  soul  would  thither  tend. 
While  toilsome  years  are  given  ; 

Then  let  me,  gracious  God,  ascend 
To  sweet  repose  in  heaven. 

Bay  Palmer. 

XUOD    The  house  not  made  with  hands. 

1  We  know,  by  faith  we  know, 
If  this  vile  house  of  clay, 

This  tabernacle,  sink  below, 
In  ruinous  decay, — 

2  We  have  a  house  above, 

Not  made  with  mortal  hands; 

And  firm  as  our  Redeemer's  love 

That  heavenly  fabric  stands. 


393 


I    I     I 

3  It  stands  securely  high, 
Indissolubly  sure: 

Our  glorious  mansion  in  the  sky 
Shall  evermore  endure, 

4  Full  of  immortal  hope, 
We  urge  the  restless  strife, 

And  hasten  to  be  swallowed  up 
Of  everlasting  life. 

5  Lord,  let  us  put  on  thee 
In  perfect  holiness. 

And  rise  prepared  thy  face  to  see. 
Thy  bright,  unclouded  face. 

6  Thy  grace  with  glory  crown, 
Who  hast  the  earnest  given. 

And  then  triumphantly  come  down, 
And  take  our  souls  to  heaven  ! 

Charles  Wesley. 

J.UO  i      The  mighty  change. 

1  O  WHAT  a  mighty  change 
Shall  Jesus'  sufferers  know, 

While  o'er  the  happy  plains  they  range. 

Incapable  of  woe! 
No  ill-requited  love 

Shall  there  our  spirits  wound: 
No  base  ingratitude  above. 

No  sin  in  heaven  is  found. 

2  No  slightest  touch  of  pain, 
No  sorrow's  least  alloy. 

Can  violate  our  rest,  or  stain 

Our  purity  of  joy  : 
In  that  eternal  day 

No  clouds  or  tempests  rise; 
There  gushing  tears  are  wiped  away 

Forever  from  our  eyes. 

Charles  Wesley.

The  Judge  that  comes  with  might,

Let  right  to  wrong  succeed  ; 

Let  penitential  sorrow 

To  heavenly  gladness  lead. 

To  light  that  hath  no  evening. 
That  knows  no  moon  nor  sun, 

The  light  so  new  and  golden. 
The  light  that  is  but  one.

Of  flowers  that  fear  no  thorn. 

Where  they  shall  dw^ell  as  children 
Who  here  as  exiles  mourn!

Where  wisdom  has  no  bound,

Thy  streets  with  emerald  blaze;

Thine  ageless  walls  are  bonded 
With  amethyst  unpriced; 

Thy  saints  build  up  its  fabric, 
And  the  corner-stone  is  Christ.

Thou  hast  no  time,  bright  day: 

Dear  fountain  of  refreshment 

To  pilgrims  far  away  : 
Upon  the  Rock  of  ages 

They  raise  thy  holy  tower; 
Thine  is  the  victor's  laurel, 

And  thine  the  golden  dower.

J_UOO     The  heavenly  Jerusalem. 

1  Away  with  our  sorrow  and  fear, 
We  soon  shall  recover  our  home ; 

The  city  of  saints  shall  appear. 

The  day  of  eternity  come. 
From  earth  we  shall  quickly  remove, 

And  mount  to  our  native  abode. 
The  house  of  our  Father  above. 

The  palace  of  angels  and  God. 

2  By  faith  we  already  behold 
That  lovely  Jerusalem  here  : 

Her  walls  are  of  jasper  and  gold, 
As  crystal  her  buildings  are  clear; 

Immovably  founded  in  grace, 

She  stands  as  she  ever  hath  stood. 

And  brightly  her  Builder  displays. 
And  flames  with  the  glory  of  God. 

3  No  need  of  the  sun  in  that  day 
Which  never  is  followed  by  night, 

Where  Jesus's  beauties  display 
A  pure  and  a  permanent  light : 

The  Lamb  is  their  light  and  their  sun. 
And  lo  !  by  reflection  they  shine  ; 

With  Jesus  ineffably  one. 

And  bright  in  effulgence  divine.

Survey  by  the  light  of  my  Lord  : 

But  when,  on  thy  bosom  reclined,

My  fullness  of  rapture  I  find. 
My  heaven  of  heavens  in  thee. 

3  How  happy  the  people  that  dwell 
Secure  in  the  city  above ! 

No  pain  the  inhabitants  feel. 

No  sickness  or  sorrow  shall  prove. 

Physician  of  souls,  unto  me 
Forgiveness  and  holiness  give; 

And  then  from  the  body  set  free. 
And  then  to  the  city  receive. 

Charles  Wesley.

11)65   To  be  u'itk  Christ  is  far  better. 

1  O  WHEN  shall  we  sweetly  remove, 
O  when  shall  we  enter  our  rest, 

Return  to  the  Zion  above, 

The  mother  of  spirits  distressed! 

That  city  of  God  the  great  King, 

Where  sorrow  and  death  are  no  more. 

But  saints  our  Immanuel  sing. 
And  cherub  and  seraph  adore. 

2  Not  all  the  archangels  can  tell 
The  joys  of  that  holiest  place. 

Where  Jesus  is  pleased  to  reveal 
The  light  of  his  heavenly  face  : 

When,  caught  in  the  rapturous  flame, 
The  sight  beatific  they  prove. 

And  walk  in  the  light  of  the  Lamb, 
Enjoying  the  beams  of  his  love. 

3  Thou  know'st  in  the  spirit  of  prayer 
We  long  thy  appearing  to  see. 

Resigned  to  the  burden  we  bear, 
But  longing  to  triumph  with  thee: 

'Tis  good  at  thy  word  to  be  here  ; 
'Tis  better  in  thee  to  be  gone; 

And  see  thee  in  glory  appear. 
And  rise  to  a  share  in  thy  throne. 

Charles  Wesley.

1  Who  are  these  arrayed  in  white, 
Brighter  than  the  noonday  sun. 

Foremost  of  the  sons  of  hght, 
Nearest  the  eternal  throne  ? 

These  are  they  that  bore  the  cross. 
Nobly  for  their  Master  stood ; 

Sufferers  in  his  righteous  cause, 
Followers  of  the  dying  God. 

2  Out  of  great  distress  they  came, 
Washed  their  robes  by  faith  below, 

In  the  blood  of  yonder  Lamb, 

Blood  that  washes  white  as  snow ; 

Therefore  are  they  next  the  throne. 
Serve  their  Maker  day  and  night ; 

God  resides  among  his  own, 
God  doth  in  his  saints  delight. 

3  More  than  conquerors  at  last. 
Here  they  find  their  trials  o'er ; 

They  have  all  their  sufferings  passed. 
Hunger  now  and  thirst  no  more. 

He  that  on  the  throne  doth  reign. 
Them  the  Lamb  shall  always  feed. 

With  the  tree  of  life  sustain, 
To  the  living  fountains  lead. 

Charles  Wesley.

XDO  /  Night  lost  in  day. 

1  High  in  yonder  realms  of  light, 
Dwell  the  raptured  saints  above ; 

Far  beyond  our  feeble  sight, 

Happy  in  Immanuel's  love: 
Pilgrims  in  this  vale  of  tears. 

Once  they  knew,  like  us  below. 
Gloomy  doubts,  distressing  fears, 

Torturing  pain,  and  heavy  woe. 

2  But  these  days  of  weeping  o'er. 
Passed  this  scene  of  toil  and  pain. 

They  shall  feel  distress  no  more. 

Never,  never  weep  again  : 
'Mid  the  chorus  of  the  skies, 

'Mid  the  angelic  lyres  above. 
Hark,  their  songs  melodious  rise. 

Songs  of  praise  to  Jesus'  love  ! 

3  All  is  tranquil  and  serene. 
Calm  and  undisturbed  repose  : 

There  no  cloud  can  intervene. 
There  no  angry  tempest  blows: 

Every  tear  is  wiped  away. 

Sighs  no  more  shall  heave  the  breast, 

Night  is  lost  in  endless  day. 
Sorrow,  in  eternal  rest.

1  Lift  your  eyes  of  faith,  and  see 
Saints  and  angels  joined  in  one  : 

What  a  countless  company 

Stand  before  yon  dazzling  throne! 

Each  before  his  Saviour  stands. 
All  in  whitest  robes  arrayed  ; 

Palms  they  carry  in  their  hands, 
Crowns  of  glory  on  their  head. 

2  Saints  begin  the  endless  song, 
Cry  aloud  in  heavenly  lays, 

Glory  doth  to  God  belong, 

God,  the  glorious  Saviour,  praise: 

All  salvation  from  him  came. 

Him,  who  reigns  enthroned  on  high : 

Glory  to  the  bleeding  Lamb, 
Let  the  morning  stars  reply. 

3  Angel  powers  the  throne  surround, 
Next  the  saints  in  glory  they ; 

Lulled  with  the  transporting  sound. 
They  their  silent  homage  pay : 

Prostrate  on  their  face,  before 
God  and  his  Messiah  fall ; 

Then  in  hymns  of  praise  adore, 
Shout  the  Lamb  that  died  for  all.

Far,  far  above  the  starry  sky. 
When  from  this  earthly  prison  free. 
That  heavenly  mansion  mine  shall  be. 

3  While  here,  a  stranger  far  from  home. 
Affliction's  waves  may  round  me  foam  ; 
Although,  like  Lazarus,  sick  and  poor. 
My  heavenly  mansion  is  secure. 

4  Let  others  seek  a  home  below. 
Which  flames  devour,  or  waves  o'erflow. 
Be  mine  the  happier  lot  to  own 

A  heavenly  mansion  near  the  throne. 

5  Then  fail  the  earth,  let  stars  decline, 
And  sun  and  moon  refuse  to  shine. 
All  nature  sink  and  cease  to  be, 
That  heavenly  mansion  stands  for  me.

2  Who  in  Jesus  confide, 
We  are  bold  to  outride 

The  storms  of  affliction  beneath  ; 

With  the  prophet  we  soar 

To  the  heavenly  shore. 
And  outfly  all  the  arrows  of  death. 

3  By  faith  we  are  come 
To  our  permanent  home  ; 

By  hope  we  the  rapture  improve: 
By  love  we  still  rise 
And  look  down  on  the  skies, 

For  the  heaven  of  heavens  is  love. 

4  Who  on  earth  can  conceive 
How  happy  we  live. 

In  the  palace  of  God  the  great  King? 

What  a  concert  of  praise. 

When  our  Jesus's  grace 
The  whole  heavenly  company  sing! 

5  What  a  rapturous  song. 
When  the  glorified  throng 

In  the  spirit  of  harmony  join  ; 

Join  all  the  glad  choirs, 

Hearts,  voices,  and  lyres. 
And  the  burden  is,  "  Mercy  divine!" 

6  "Hallelujah,"  they  cry. 
To  the  King  of  the  sky. 

To  the  great  everlasting  I  AM ; 

To  the  Lamb  that  was  slain. 

And  that  liveth  again, — 
"Hallelujah  to  God  and  the  Lamb!" 

Charles  Wesley.

With  vigor  arise, 
And  press  to  our  permanent  place  in  the 

skies. 
Of  heavenly  birth,    though  wandering   on 
earth, 

This  is  not  our  place. 
But  strangers  and  pilgrims  ourselves  we 
confess. 

2  At  Jesus's  call,  we  gave  up  our  all ; 

And  still  we  forego, 
For  Jesus's  sake,  our  enjoyments  below. 
No  longing  we  find  for  the  country  behind ; 

But  onward  we  move, 
And  still  we  are  seeking  a  country  above : 


3  A  country  of  joy  without  any  alloy; 
We  thither  repair; 

Our  hearts   and  our  treasure  already  are 

there. 
We  march  hand   in  hand   to   Immanuel's 

land; 

No  matter  what  cheer 
We  meet  with  on  earth,  for  eternity's  near. 

4  The  rougher  our  way,  the  shorter   our 
stay; 

The  tempests  that  rise 
Shall  gloriously  hurry  our  souls  to  the  skies  •. 
The  fiercer  the  blast,  the  sooner  'tis  past ; 

The  troubles  that  come 
Shall  come  to  our   rescue,  and  hapten  us 
home.

2  The  God  of  Abrah'm  praise, 
At  whose  supreme  command 

From  earth  I  rise,  and  seek  the  joys 

At  his  right  hand : 
I  all  on  earth  forsake, 

Its  wisdom,  fame,  and  power; 
And  him  my  only  portion  make. 

My  shield  and  tower. 

3  The  God  of  Abrah'm  praise. 
Whose  all-sufficient  grace 

Shall  guide  me  all  my  happy  days 

In  all  his  ways  ; 
He  calls  a  worm  his  friend, 

He  calls  himself  my  God! 
And  he  shall  save  me  to  the  end. 

Through  Jesus'  blood. 

4  He  by  himself  hath  sworn, 
I  on  his  oath  depend ; 

I  shall,  on  eagle  wings  upborne. 

To  heaven  ascend ; 
I  shall  behold  his  face, 

I  shall  his  power  adore. 
And  sing  the  wonders  of  his  grace 

For  evermore.

SECOND   PART. 

A"  «  t)  Pressing  toward  the  mark. 

1  Though  nature's  strength  decay. 

And  earth  and  hell  withstand. 
To  Canaan's  bounds  I  urge  my  way. 

At  his  command ; 
The  watery  deep  I  pass. 

With  Jesus  in  my  view ; 


406 


And  through  the  howling  wilderness 
My  way  pursue. 

2  The  goodly  land  I  see, 
With  peace  and  plenty  blest ; 

A  land  of  sacred  liberty. 

And  endless  rest. 
There  milk  and  honey  flow. 

And  oil  and  wine  abound  ; 
And  trees  of  life  forever  grow. 

With  mercy  crowned. 

3  There  dwells  the  Lord  our  King, 
The  Lord  our  Righteousness, 

Triumphant  o'er  the  world  and  sin. 

The  Prince  of  peace ; 
On  Zion's  sacred  height. 

His  kingdom  still  maintains; 
And,  glorious,  with  his  saints  in  light 

Forever  reigns. 

4  He  keeps  his  own  secure; 
He  guards  them  by  his  side ; 

Arrays  in  garments  white  and  pure 

His  spotless  bride; 
With  streams  of  sacred  bliss. 

With  groves  of  living  joys. 
With  all  the  fruits  of  paradise. 

He  still  supplies. 

5  Before  the  great  Three  One 
They  all  exulting  stand. 

And  tell  the  wonders  he  hath  done 

Through  all  their  land  : 
The  listening  spheres  attend, 

And  swell  the  growing  fame  ; 
And  sing,  in  songs  which  never  end. 

The  wondrous  name.

The  great  archangels  sing. 

And,  "Holy,  holy,  holy,"  cry, 

"  Almighty  King ! 
Who  was  and  is  the  same. 

And  evermore  shall  be  ; 
Jehovah,  Father,  great  I  AM, 

We  worship  thee." 

2  Before  the  Saviour's  face 
The  ransomed  nations  bow; 

O'erwhelmed  at  his  almighty  grace. 

Forever  new : 
He  shows  his  prints  of  love, — 

They  kindle  to  a  flame, 
And  sound  through  all  the  worlds  above. 

The  slaughtered  Lamb ! 

3  The  whole  triumphant  host 
Give  thanks  to  God  on  high ; 

"Hail,  Father,  Son,  and  Holy  Ghost," 

They  ever  cry : 
Hail,  Abrah'm's  God,  and  mine  ! —

All  might  and  majesty  are  thine. 

And  endless  praise.

JLU  /  O        The  pilgrim'' s  lot. 

1  How  happy  is  the  pilgrim's  lot. 
How  free  from  every  anxious  thought. 

From  worldly  hope  and  fear! 
Confined  to  neither  court  nor  cell. 
His  soul  disdains  on  earth  to  dwell. 

He  only  sojourns  here. 

2  This  happiness  in  part  is  mine. 
Already  saved  from  low  design. 

From  every  creature-love ; 
Blest  with  the  scorn  of  finite  good. 
My  soul  is  lightened  of  its  load. 

And  seeks  the  things  above. 

3  There  is  my  house  and  portion  fair ; 
My  treasure  and  my  heart  are  there, 

And  my  abiding  home  ; 
For  me  my  elder  brethren  stay. 
And  angels  beckon  me  away. 

And  Jesus  bids  me  come. 

4  "  I  come,"  thy  servant.  Lord,  replies, 
"I  come  to  meet  thee  in  the  skies. 

And  claim  my  heavenly  rest ! 
Now  let  the  pilgrim's  journey  end  ; 
Now,  O  my  Saviour,  Brother,  Friend, 

Receive  me  to  thy  breast ! "

While  in  thy  temple  we  appear. 
Whose  goodness  crowns  the  circling  year. 

2  The  flowery  spring,  at  thy  command. 
Embalms  the  air  and  paints  the  land; 
The  summer  rays  with  vigor  shine, 

To  raise  the  corn  and  cheer  the  vine. 

3  Thy  hand  in  autumn  richly  pours 
Through  all  our  coasts  redundant  stores; 
And  winters,  softened  by  thy  care, 

No  more  a  face  of  horror  wear. 

4  Seasons,  and  months,  and  weeks,  and 

days. 
Demand  successive  songs  of  praise  ; 
Still  be  the  cheerful  homage  paid, 
With  opening  light  and  evening  shade. 

5  Here  in  thy  house  shall  incense  rise, 
And  circling  Sabbaths  bless  our  eyes. 
Till  to  those  lofty  heights  we  soar, 
Where  days  and  years  revolve  no  more.

Thine  is  the  harvest,  thine  the  seed. 
The  fresh  and  fading  year. 

2  Our  hope,  when  autumn  winds  blew  wild. 
We  trusted,  Lord,  with  thee; 

And  still,. now  spring  has  on  us  smiled. 
We  wait  on  thy  decree. 

3  The  former  and  the  latter  rain, 
The  summer  sun  and  air. 

The  green  ear,  and  the  golden  grain, 
All  thine,  are  ours  by  prayer. 

4  Thine,  too,  by  right,  and  ours  by  grace. 
The  wondrous  growth  unseen. 

The  hopes  that  soothe,  the  fears  that  brace. 
The  love  that  shines  serene.

Proclaim  thy  constant  care. 

2  When  in  the  bosom  of  the  earth 
The  sower  hid  the  grain. 

Thy  goodness  marked  its  secret  birth. 
And  sent  the  early  rain. 

3  The  spring's  sweet  influence.  Lord,  was

Lord  of  harvest,  grant  that  we

And  shall  take  his  harvest  home  ; 
From  his  field  shall  in  that  day 

AH  offenses  purge  away ; 
Give  his  angels  charge  at  last 
In  the  fire  the  tares  to  cast ; 
But  the  fruitful  ears  to  store 
In  his  garner  evermore. 

4  Even  so.  Lord,  quickly  come 
To  thy  final  harvest-home  ; 
Gather  thou  thy  people  in. 

Free  from  sorrow,  free  from  sin  ; 
There,  forever  purified. 
In  thy  presence  to  abide : 
Come,  with  all  thine  angels,  come. 
Raise  the  glorious  harvest-home.

For  the  love  that  crowns  our  days! 
Bounteous  Source  of  every  joy, 
Let  thy  praise  our  tongues  employ. 

2  For  the  blessings  of  the  field, 
For  the  stores  the  gardens  yield  ; 
For  the  fruits  in  full  supply. 
Ripened   neath  the  summer  sky  ; 

3  All  that  spring  with  bounteous  hand 
Scatters  o'er  the  smiling  land  ; 

All  that  liberal  autumn  pours 
From  her  rich,  o'erflowing  stores; 

4  These  to  thee,  my  God,  we  owe. 
Source  whence  all  our  blessings  flow ; 
And  for  these  my  soul  shall  raise 
Grateful  vows  and  solemn  praise. 

.5  Should  thine  altered  hand  restrain 
The  early  and  the  latter  rain  ; 
Blast  each  opening  bud  cf  joy. 
And  the  rising  year  destroy ;

Grateful  vows  and  solemn  praise ; 
And,  when  ever}'  blessing's  flown.

TO oO  Praise  to  the  Lord  of  harvest. 

1  Sing  to  the  Lord  of  harvest ! 
Sing  songs  of  love  and  praise ! 

With  joyful  hearts  and  voices 

Your  hallelujahs  raise : 
By  him  the  rolling  seasons 

In  fruitful  order  move; 
Sing  to  the  Lord  of  harvest 

A  song  of  happy  love. 

2  By  him  the  clouds  drop  fatness, 
The  deserts  bloom  and  spring. 

The  hills  leap  up  in  gladness, 
The  valleys  laugh  and  sing : 

He  fiUeth  with  his  fullness 

All  things  with  large  increase, 

He  crowns  the  year  with  goodness. 
With  plenty,  and  with  peace. 

3  Heap  on  his  sacred  altar 
The  gifts  his  goodness  gave, 

The  golden  sheaves  of  harvest, 
The  souls  he  died  to  save : 

Your  hearts  lay  down  before  him 
When  at  his  feet  ye  fall. 

And  with  your  Irves  adore  him 
Who  gave  his  life  for  all. 

4  To  God,  the  gracious  Father, 
Who  made  us  "  very  good," 

To  Christ,  who,  when  we  wandered 
Restored  us  with  his  blood.

And  to  the  Holy  Spirit, 

Who  doth  upon  us  pour 
His  blessed  dews  and  sunshine. 

Be  praise  for  evermore  ! 

Jolia  S.  B.  Monsell. 

XUoO       God^ s  gifts  in  nature. 

1  We  plow  the  fields  and  scatter 
The  good  seed  on  the  land, 

But  it  is  fed  and  watered 

By  God's  almighty  hand; 
He  sends  the  snow  in  v»'inter, 

The  warmth  to  swell  the  grain. 
The  breezes  and  the  sunshine, 

And  soft  refreshing  rain. 

2  He  only  is  the  Maker 

Of  all  things  near  and  far; 
He  paints  the  wayside  flower. 

He  lights  the  evening  star; 
The  winds  and  waves  obey  him, 

By  him  the  birds  are  fed ; 
Much  more  to  us,  his  children. 

He  gives  our  daily  bread. 

3  We  thank  thee,  then,  O  Father, 
For  all  things  bright  and  good. 

The  seed-time  and  the  harvest, 
Our  life,  our  health,  our  food ; 

Accept  the  gifts  we  offer 
For  all  thy  love  imparts, 

And,  what  thou  most  desirest, 

Our  humble,  thankful  hearts.

1  The  God  of  harvest  praise; 
In  loud  thanksgiving  raise 

Hand,  heart,  and  voice  ; 
The  valleys  laugh  and  sing. 
Forests  and  mountains  ring, 
The  plains  their  tribute  bring, 

The  streams  rejoice. 

2  Yea,  bless  his  holy  name. 
And  joyful  thanks  proclaim 

Through  all  the  earth  ; 
To  glory  in  your  lot 
Is  comely, — but  be  not 
God's  benefits  forgot. 

Amid  your  mirth. 

3  The  God  of  harvest  praise ; 
Hands,  hearts,  and  voices  raise 

With  one  accord ; 
From  field  to  garner  throng. 
Bearing  your  sheaves  along. 
And  in  your  harvest  song 

Bless  ye  the  Lord.

JLUoO      The  preaching  leaves. 

1  THE-leaves,  around  me  falling, 

Are  preaching  of  decay. 
The  hollow  winds  are  calling, 

"Come,  pilgrim,  come, a  way!" 


.411 


The  day,  in  night  declining, 
Says  I  must,  too,  decline ; 

The  year,  its  life  resigning, — 
Its  lot  foreshadows  mine. 

2  The  light  my  path  surrounding, 
The  loves,  to  which  I  cling. 

The  hopes  within  me  bounding. 
The  joys  that  round  me  wing, — 

All  melt,  like  stars  of  even, 
Before  the  morning's  ray. 

Pass  upward  unto  heaven. 
And  chide  at  my  delay. 

3  The  friends,  gone  there  before  me. 
Are  calling  from  on  high  ; 

And  joyous  angels  o'er  me 
Tempt  sweetly  to  the  sky : 

"Why  wait,"  they  say,  "and  wither 
'Mid  scenes  of  death  and  sin  ? 

O  rise  to  glory,  hither. 
And  find  true  life  begin." 

4  I  hear  the  invitation. 

And  fain  would  rise  and  come, . 

A  sinner,  to  salvation  ; 

An  exile,  to  his  home: 
But,  while  I  here  must  linger. 

Thus,  thus  let  all  I  see 
Point  on,  with  faithful  finger. 

To  heaven,  O  Lord,  and  thee. 

Henry  F.  I^te.

1  My  country!  'tis  of  thee. 
Sweet  land  of  liberty, 

Of  thee  I  sing: 
Land  where  my  fathers  died ! 
Land  of  the  pilgrims'  pride  ! 
From  every  mountain  side 

Let  freedom  ring  ! 

2  My  native  country,  thee. 
Land  of  the  noble,  free, 

Thy  name  I  love  ; 
I  love  thy  rocks  and  rills. 
Thy  woods  and  templed  hills: 
My  heart  with  rapture  thrills 

Like  that  above. 

3  Let  music  swell  the  breeze, 
And  ring  from  all  the  trees 

Sweet  freedom's  song : 
Let  mortal  tongues  awake ; 
Let  all  that  breathe  partake ; 
Let  rocks  their  silence  break, 

The  sound  prolong. 

4  Our  fathers'  God !  to  thee. 
Author  of  liberty. 

To  thee  we  sing: 
Long  may  our  land  be  bright 
With  freedom's  holy  light ; 
Protect  us  by  thy  might, 

Great  God,  our  King! 

Samuel  F.  Smith. 


Our  native  land. 
1  God  bless  our  native  land ! 
Firm  may  she  ever  stand. 
Through  storm  and  night: 


412 


When  the  wild  tempests  rave. 
Ruler  of  wind  and  wave. 
Do  thou  our  country  save 
By  thy  great  might ! 

2  For  her  our  prayer  shall  rise 
To  God,  above  the  skies  ; 

On  him  we  wait : 
Thou  who  art  ever  nigh. 
Guarding  with  watchful  eye, 
To  thee  aloud  we  cry, 

God  save  the  State ! 

John  S.  Dwlght.

From  thy  temple  in  the  skies, 

Hear  thy  people's  supplications ; 
Now  for  their  deliverance  rise. 

2  Lo  !  with  deep  contrition  turning. 
In  thy  holy  place  we  bend; 

Hear  us,  fasting,  praying,  mourning; 
Hear  us,  spare  us,  and  defend. 

3  Though  our   sins,   our  hearts  con- 

founding. 
Long  and  loud  for  vengeance  call. 
Thou  hast  mercy  more  abounding; 
Jesus'  blood  can  cleanse  them  all. 

4  Let  that  mercy  veil  transgression ; 
Let  that  blood  our  guilt  efface : 

Save  thy  people  from  oppression ; 
Save  from  spoil  thy  holy  place.

Give  to  us  peace  in  our  time,  O  Lord. 


3  God,  the  All-Merciful !  earth  hath  forsaken 
Thy  ways  all  holy,  and  slighted  thy  word  ;

Praise  him  who  saved  them  from  peril  and

1  Great  King  ofnations,  hear  our  prayer. 
While  at  thy  feet  we  fall, 

And  humbly,  with  united  cry, 
To  thee  for  mercy  call. 

2  The  guilt  is  ours,  but  grace  is  thine, 
O  turn  us  not  away ; 

But  hear  us  from  thy  lofty  throne. 
And  help  us  when  we  pray. 

3  Our  fathers'  sins  were  manifold. 
And  ours  no  less  we  own. 

Yet  wondrously  from  age  to  age 
Thy  goodness  hath  been  shown. 

4  When  dangers,  like  a  stormy  sea, 
Beset  our  country  round. 

To  thee  we  looked,  to  thee  we  cried. 
And  help  in  thee  was  found. 

5  With  one  consent  we  meekly  bow 
Beneath  thy  chastening  hand, 

And,  pouring  forth  confession  meet, 
Mourn  with  our  mourning  land. 

6  With  pitying  eye  behold  our  need. 
As  thus  we  lift  our  prayer; 

Correct  us  with  thy  judgments,  Lord, 
Then  let  thy  mercy  spare. 

John  B.  Gurney.

We  now  for  succor  fly  ; 

Thine  awful  judgments  are  abroad, 
O  shield  us,  lest  we  die. 

2  The  fell  disease  on  every  side 
Walks  forth  with  tainted  breath  ; 


414 


And  pestilence,  with  rapid  stride, 
Bestrews  the  land  with  death. 

3  O  look  with  pity  on  the  scene 
Of  sadness  and  of  dread  ; 

And  let  thine  angel  stand  between 
The  living  and  the  dead. 

4  With  contrite  hearts,  to  thee,  our  King, 
We  turn  who  oft  have  strayed  ; 

Accept  the  sacrifice  we  bring. 
And  let  the  plague  be  stayed. 

William  Bullock. 

JL  y  y  O      Impending  judgmcnU. 

1  Come,  let  our  souls  adore  the  Lord, 
Whose  judgments  yet  delay  ; 

Who  yet  suspends  the  lifted  sword. 
And  gives  us  time  to  pray. 

2  Great  is  our  guilt,  our  fears  are  great. 
But  let  us  not  despair; 

Still  open  is  the  mercy-seat 
To  penitence  and  prayer. 

3  Kind  Intercessor,  to  thy  love 
This  blessed  hope  we  owe  : 

O  let  thy  merits  plead  above. 
While  we  implore  below. 

4  Though  justice  near  thy  awful  throne 
Attends  thy  dread  command. 

Lord,  hear  thy  servants,  hear  thy  Son, 
And  save  a  guilty  land.

In  our  attentive  ears. 

Thy  wonders  in  their  days  performed, 
And  in  more  ancient  years. 

2  'Twas  not  their  courage,  nor  their  sword. 
To  them  salvation  gave  ; 

'Twas  not  their  number,  nor  their  strength. 
That  did  their  country  save  ; 

3  But  thy  right  hand,  thy  powerful  arm, 
Whose  succor  they  implored  ; 

Thy  providence  protected  them. 
Who  thy  great  name  adored. 

4  As  thee  their  God  our  fathers  owned. 
So  thou  art  still  our  King ; 

O,  therefore,  as  thou  didst  to  them, 
To  us  deliverance  bring. 

5  To  thee  the  glory  we  ascribe. 
From  whom  salvation  came  ; 

In  God,  our  shield,  we  will  rejoice, 
And  ever  bless  thy  name.

Our  fields  with  plenteousness.

Was  strong  to  heal  and  save  ; 

It  triumphed  o'er  disease  and  death. 

O'er  darkness  and  the  grave: 
To  thee  they  went,  the  blind,  the  dumb. 

The  palsied  and  the  lame. 
The  leper  with  his  tainted  life. 

The  sick  with  fevered  frame. 

2  And  lo,  thy  touch  brought  life  and  health, 
Gave  speech,  and  strength,  and  sight; 

And  youth  renewed  and  frenzy  calmed 
Owned  thee,  the  Lord  of  light : 

And  now,  O  Lord,  be  near  to  bless, 
Almighty  as  of  yore, 

In  crowded  street,  by  restless  couch. 
As  by  Gennesareth's  shore. 

3  Be  thou  our  great  Deliverer  still. 
Thou  Lord  of  life  and  death  ; 

Restore  and  quicken,  soothe  and  bless 

With  thine  almighty  breath. 
To  hands  that  work,  and  eyes  that  see, 

Give  wisdom's  heavenly  lore. 
That  whole  and  sick,  and  weak  and  stron 

May  praise  thee  evermore.

This  land  we  fondly  call  our  own.

And  casts  her  soft  and  hallowed  ray ; 

Here  thou  our  fathers'  steps  didst  guide 
In  safety  through  their  dangerous  way. 

4  We  praise  thee  that  the  gospel's  light 
Through  all  our  land  its  radiance  sheds; 

Dispels  the  shades  of  error's  night, 

And  heavenly  blessings  round  us  spreads.

In  danger  still  our  guardian  be ;

A  word  of  thine  almighty  breath 

'  Can  sink  the  world,  or  bid  it  rise  : 
Thy  smile  is  life,  thy  frown  is  death. 

2  When  angry  nations  rush  to  arms, 
And  rage,  and  noise,  and  tumult  reign. 

And  war  resounds  its  dire  alarms. 

And  slaughter  dyes  the  hostile  plain, — 


416 


3  Thy  sovereign  eye  looks  calmly  down, 
And  marks   their  course,  and  bounds 

their  power; 
Thy  law  the  angry  nations  own, 

And  noise  and  war  are  heard  no  more. 

4  Then  peace  returns  with  balmy  wing ; 
Sweet  peace,  with  her  what  blessings 

fled! 
Glad  plenty  laughs,  the  valleys  sing, 
Reviving  commerce  lifts  her  head. 

5  To  thee  we  pay  our  grateful  songs; 
Thy  kind  protection  still  implore: 

0  may  our  hearts,  and  lives,  and  tongue^ 
Confess  thy  goodness,  and  adore.

Make  wars  throughout  the  world  to  cease : 
The  wrath  of  sinful  man  restrain  ; 

Give  peace,  O  God,  give  peace  again. 

2  Remember,  Lord,  thy  works  of  old, 
The  wonders  that  our  lathers  told ; 
Remember  not  our  sin's  dark  stain  ; 
Give  peace,  O  God,  give  peace  again. 

3  Whom  shall  we  trust  but  thee,  O  Lord  ? 
Where  rest  but  on  thy  faithful  word  .' 
None  ever  called  on  thee  in  vain ; 

Give  peace,  O  God,  give  peace  again. 

4  Where  saints  and  angels  dwell  above. 
All  hearts  are  knit  in  holy  love ; 

O  bind  us  in  that  heavenly  chain  ; 
Give  peace.  O  God,  give  peace  again.

1  Great  God !  beneath  whose  piercing  eye 
The  earth's  extended  kingdoms  lie ; 
Whose  favoring  smile  upholds  them  all. 
Whose  anger  smites  them,  and  they  fall ; 

2  We  bow  before  thy  heavenly  throne  ; 
Thy  power  we  see,  thy  greatness  own ; 
Yet,  cherished  by  thy  milder  voice. 
Our  bosoms  tremble  and  rejoice. 

3  Thy  kindness  to  our  fathers  shown 
Their  children's  children  long  shall  own  ; 
To  thee,  with  grateful  hearts,  shall  raise 
The  tribute  of  exulting  praise. 

4  Led  on  by  thine  unerring  aid, 
Secure  the  paths  of  life  we  tread; 
And,  freely  as  the  vital  air. 

Thy  first  and  noblest  bounties  share. 

0  Great  God,  our  Guardian,  Guide,   and 

Friend! 
O  still  thy  sheltering  arm  extend  ; 
Preserved  by  thee  for  ages  past. 
For  ages  let  thy  kindness  last !

Attend  his  people's  humble  cry  ; 

Defend  them  in  the  needful  hour, 
And  send  deliverance  from  on  high. 

2  In  his  salvation  is  our  hope; 
And  in  the  name  of  Israel's  God 

Our  troops  shall  lift  their  banners  up, 
Our  navies  spread  their  flags  abroad.

And  listen  to  our  heartfelt  prayer ; 

Surround  us  with  thy  heavenly  grace. 
And  guard  us  with  thy  constant  care.

Sheltered  by  thee  from  every  harm ; 

We  '11  follow  where  thy  hand  shall  guide,. 
And  lean  on  thy  sustaining  arm.

That  through  our  homes  doth  move, 
Veiled  in  the  softened  splendor 

Of  holy  household  love: 
A  throne,  without  thy  blessing, 

Were  labor  without  rest, 
And  cottages,  possessing 

Thy  blessedness,  are  blest. 

2  God  bless  these  hands  united, 
God  bless  these  hearts  made  one  ; 

Unsevered  and  unblighted 
May  they  through  life  go  on  : 

Here,  in  earth's  home,  preparing 
For  the  bright  home  above. 

And  there,  forever  sharing 
Its  joy,  where  "God  is  love."

1  How  welcome  was  the  call, 
-And  sweet  the  festal  lay, 


418 


When  Jesus  deigned  in  Cana's  hall 
To  bless  the  marriage  day ! 

2  And  happy  was  the  bride. 

And  glad  the  bridegroom's  heart. 
For  he  who  tarried  at  their  side 
Bade  grief  and  ill  depart. 

3  His  gracious  power  divine 
The  water  vessels  knew ; 

And  plenteous  was  the  mystic  wine 
The  wondering  servants  drew. 

4  O  Lord  of  life  and  love. 
Come  thou  again  to-day ; 

And  bring  a  blessing  from  above 
That  ne'er  shall  pass  away. 

5  O  bless,  as  erst  of  old, 

The  bridegroom  and  the  bride; 
Bless  w'ith  the  holier  stream  that  flowed 
Forth  from  thy  pierced  side. 

6  Before  thine  altar-throne 
This  mercy  we  implore  : 

As  thou  dost  knit  them.  Lord,  in  one, 
So  bless  them  evermore.

They  will  not  pass  beyond  thine  eye : 

The  wanderer's  prayer  thou  bend'st  to  hear, 
And  faith  exults  to  know  thee  near. 

3  When  tempests  rock  the  groaning  bark, 
O  hide  them  safe  in  Jesus'  ark; 

When  in  the  tempting  port  they  ride,

Still  guide  them  to  the  heavenly  shore  ; 
And  grant  their  dust  in  Christ  may  sleep.

Obedient  to  thy  will ;

Shall  join  our  souls  to  thee.

1  He  is  despised  and  re-  |  jected  of  |  men ;    ||    a  man  of  sorrows  and  ac-  |  quainted  | 

with —  I  grief. 

2  And  we  hid  as  it  were  our  |  faces  1  from  him ;     |     he  was  despised,  and  |  we  es-  | 

teemed  him  |  not. 

3  Surely  he  hath  borne  our  griefs,  and  |  carried  our  ]  sorrows :    ||    yet  we  did  esteem  him 

stricken,  |  smitten  of  |  God, -'and  af-  |  flicted. 

4  But  he  was  wounded  for  |  our  trans-  |  gressions,     ||    he  was  bruised  for  |  our  in-  | 

iqui-  1  ties; 

5  The  chastisement  of  our  peace  |  was  up-  |  on  him,     fl    and  with  his  |  stripes —  |  we 

are  |  healed. 

6  All  we  like  sheep  have  |  gone  a-  (  stray ;    j|    we  have  turned  every  [  one  to  |  his  own  | 

way ; 

7  And  the  Lord  hath  |  laid  on  |  him    |    the  in-  |  iquity  |  of  us  |  all. 

8  When  thou  shalt  make  his  soUl  an  |  offering  "for  |  sin,     |    he  shall  see  his  seed,  he  | 

shall  pro-  |  long  his  |  days, 

9  And  the  pleasure  of  the  Lord  shall  prosper  |  in  his  |  hand.     H    He  shall  see  of  the 

travail  of  his  soul,  and  |  shall  be  |  satis-  |  fied.

1  My  God,  my  Father,  while  I  stray- 
Far  from  my  home  on  life's  rough  way, 
O  teach  me  from  my  heart  to  say. 

Thy  will  be  done ! 

2  Thoug-h  dark  my  path  and  sad  my  lot, 
Let  me  be  still  and  murmur  not. 

And  breathe  the  prayer  divinely  taught, 
"Thy  will  be  done!" 

3  What  though  in  lonely  grief  I  sigh 
For  friends  beloved,  no  longer  nigh! 
Submissive  still  would  I  reply, 

"Thy  will  be  done  !" 


4  Though  thou  hast  called  me  to  resign 
What  most  I  prized,  it  ne'er  was  mine : 

I  have  but  yielded  what  was  thine ; 
Thy  will  be  done ! 

5  Let  but  my  fainting  heart  be  blest 
With  thy  sweet  Spirit  for  its  guest, 
My  God,  to  thee  I  leave  the  rest: 

Thy  will  be  done! 

6  Renew  my  will  from  day  to  day ; 
Blend  it  with  thine,  and  take  away 
All  that  now  makes  it  hard  to  say, 

"Thy  will  be  done!"

A  lowly  spirit. 

1  From  the  recesses  of  a  lowly  spirit 

My   humble  |  prayer  as-  |  cends ;     |     O  | 

Father,  |  hear  it ;    || 
Upsoaring  on   the  wings   of  ]   fear  and  | 

meekness,    | 
For-  I  give  its  |  weakness. 

2  I    know,   I    feel,   how   mean  and   |  how 

un-  I  worthy   || 
The  trembling  sacrifice  I  |  pour  be-  |  fore 

thee;    | 
What    can    I    offer   in    thy    )    presence    | 

holy    I 
But  I  sin  and  ]  tolly? 

3  For  in  thy  sight,  who  every  |  bosom  | 

viewest,    || 
Cold    are   our  warmest  vows,   and   ]    vain 

our  I  truest;    || 
Thoughts  of  a  hurrying  hour,  our    |    lips 

re-  1  peat  them,    || 
Our  I  hearts  for-  |  get  them. 

4  "We  see  thy  hand;  it  leads  us,  |  it  sup- 

I  ports  us :    || 
We  hear  thy  voice ;  it  counsels  |  and  it  | 
courts  us;    || 


440 


-f 


And  then  we  turn  away;  and  |  still  thy  | 
kindness    | 
Pardons  |  our —  |  blindness. 

5  Who  can   resist   thy  gentle   |   call,  ap- 

I  pealing    |i 
To  every  generous  thought  and  |  grateful 

I  feeling?    || 
That  voice  paternal,  whispering,  |  watch- 
ing I  ever?    || 
My  I  bosom?  |  Never! 

6  Father  and  Saviour!    plant  within  that 

bosom 
These  |  seeds  of  |  holiness,  !|  and  bid  them 

I  blossom 
In  1  fragrance,     ||     and    in   beauty  [  bright 
and  I  vernal,    || 
And  I  spring  e-  |  ternal. 

7  Then    place   them    in  those  everlasting 

gardens. 
Where  |  angels  |  walk   \  and  seraphs  |  are 

the  1  wardens;    || 
Where  every  flower  that  creeps  through  | 

death's  dark  |  portal    |) 
Be-  I  comes  im-  |  mortal.

Psalm  xc. 

1  Lord,  thou  hast  |  been  our  |  dwelling-place    ||    in  ]  all —  |  gener-  ]  ations. 

2  Before  the  mountains  were  brought  forth,  or  ever  thou  hadst  formed  the  earth  |  a7id 

the  I  world,    ||    even  from  everlasting  to  everlasting,  \  thou —  |  art —  |  God. 

3  Thou  turnest  man  |  to  de-  |  struction;    ||    and  sayest,  Re-  |  turn,  ye  |  children" "of  | 

men. 

4  For  a  thousand  years  ift  thy  sight  are  btct  as  yesterday  when  \  it  is  \  past,    ||    a7id  \ 

as  a  I  watch" i7i  the  |  7iight. 

5  Thou  earnest  them  away  as  with  a  flood ;   they  are  |  as  a  ]  sleep :    |j    in  the  morning 

they  are  like  |  grass  which  |  groweth  |  up. 

6  In  the  viornijig  it  flourisheth,  and  \  groweth  \  up  ;    ||    z«  the  evening  it  is  cut  \  down 

and  I  wither-  \  eth. 

7  For  we  are  consumed  |  by  thine  |  anger,     ||    and  by  thy  |  wrath — •  |  are  we  |  troubled. 

8  Thou  hast  set  our  itiiguities  be-  j  fore —  |  thee,     \     our  secret  sifis  iji  the  |  light  of  | 

thy —  I  countenance. 

9  For  all  our  days  are  passed  away  |  in  thy  |  wrath ;     ||    we  spend  our  years  |  as  a  | 

tale"that  is  |  told. 

10  The  days  of  our  years  are  threescore  \  years  and,  \  ten;    \    atid  if  by  reason  of 

strength  they  be  fourscore  years,  yet  is  their  strength  labor  afid  sorrow ;  for  it  is 
S0071  cut  off,  I  a/id  we  \  fly  a-  \  way. 

11  Who  knoweth  the  power  |  of  thine  |  anger?     [    even  according  to  thy  fear,  |  so —  | 

is  thy  I  wrath. 

12  So  teach  us  to  \  tiu77iber-  -  otir  \  days,      \     that  we  may  apply  our  \  hearts —  |  ttnto  \

THE    RITUAL. 


481.  The  Mikistration  of  Baptism  to 
Infants. 

The  Minister,  coming  to  the  Font,  which  is  to  he 
filled  with  pure  Water,  shall  use  the  following  : — 

Dearly  Beloved  :  Forasmucli  as  all  men 
are  conceived  and  born  in  sin,  and  that 
our  Saviour  Christ  saith,  Except  a  man  be 
bom  of  water  and  of  the  Spirit  he  cannot 
■enter  into  the  kingdom  of  God ;  I  beseech 
you  to  call  upon  God  the  Father,  through 
■our  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  that  having,  of  his 
bounteous  mercy,  redeemed  this  child  by 
the  blood  of  his  Son,  he  wiU  grant  tliat  he^ 
being  baptized  with  water,  may  also  be 
baptized  with  the  Holy  Ghost,  be  received 
into  Christ's  holy  Church,  and  become  a 
limly  memler  of  the  same. 

Then  shall  the  Minister  say, 
Let  us  pray. 

Almighty  and  everlasting  God,  who  of 
thy  great  mercy  hast  condescended  to  enter 
into  covenant  relations  with  man,  wherein 
thou  hast  included  children  as  partakers  of 
its  gracious  benefits,  declaring  that  of  such 
is  thy  kingdom  :  and  in  thy  ancient  Church 
•didst  appoint  divers  baptisms,  figuring 
thereby  the  renewing  of  the  Holy  Ghost; 
and  by  thy  well-beloved  Son  Jesus  Christ 
gavest  commandment  to  thy  holy  Apos- 
tles to  go  into  all  the  world  and  disciple 
all  nations,  baptizing  them  in  the  name  of 
the  Father,  and  of  the  Son,  and  of  the  Holy 
Ghost :  We  beseech  thee,  that  of  thine  in- 
finite mercy  thou  wilt  look  upon  this  child : 
wash  Mm  and  sanctify  Mm ;  that  he,  being 
saved  by  thy  grace,  may  be  received  into 
'Christ's  holy  Church,  and  being  steadfast 
in  faith,  joyful  through  hope,  and  rooted 
in  love,  may  so  overcome  the  evils  of  this 
present  world,  that  finally  he  may  attain  to 
•everlasting  life,  and  reign  v/ith  thee,  world 
witliout  end,  through  Jesus  Christ  our 
Lord.     Amen. 

O  merciful  God,  grant  that  all  carnal 
affections  may  die  in  him,  and  that  all 
things  belonging  to  the  Spirit  may  live  and 
grow  in  him.     Amen. 

Grant    that    he    may    have    power    and 


strength  to  have  victory,  and  to  triumph 
against  the  devil,  the  world,  and  the  flesh. 
Amen. 

Grant  that  whosoever  is  dedicated  to 
thee  by  our  office  and  ministry  may  also  be 
endued  with  heavenly  virtues,  and  ever- 
lastingly rewarded  through  thy  mercy,  O 
blessed  Lord  God,  who  dost  live,  and  gov- 
ern all  things,  world  without  end.     Amen. 

Almighty,  ever-living  God,  wliose  most 
dearly  beloved  Son  Jesus  Christ,  for  the 
forgiveness  of  our  sins,  did  shed  out  of  his 
most  precious  side  both  Avater  and  blood, 
regard,  we  beseech  thee,  our  supplications. 
Sanctify  this  water  for  this  holy  sacrament ; 
and  grant  that  this  child,  now  to  be  bap- 
tized, may  receive  tlie  fullness  of  thy  grace, 
and  ever  remain  in  the  number  of  thy 
faithful  and  elect  children,  through  Jesus 
Christ  our  Lord.    Amen. 

Then  shall  the  Minister  address  the  Parents  \or 

Guardians]  as  follows: — ■ 

Dearly  beloved :  Forasmuch  as  this  child 
is  now  presented  by  you  for  Christian  bap- 
tism, you  must  remember  that  it  is  your 
part  and  duty  to  see  that  lie  be  taught,  as 
soon  as  he  shall  be  able  to  learn,  the  na- 
ture and  end  of  this  holy  sacrament.  And 
that  he  may  know  these  things  the  better, 
you  shall  call  upon  Mm  to  give  reverent 
attendance  upon  the  appointed  means  of 
grace,  such  as  the  ministry  of  the  word 
and  the  public  and  i)rivate  v.'orsbip  of  God ; 
and  further,  ye  shall  provide  that  he  shall 
read  the  Holy  Scrijitures,  and  learn  the 
Lord's  Prayer,  the  Ten  Commandments, 
the  Apostles'  Creed,  the  Catechism,  and 
all  other  things  v/hich  a  Christian  ought 
to  know  and  believe  to  Ms  soul's  health, 
in  order  that  Ac  may  be  brought  up  to  lead 
a  virtuous  and  holy  life,  remembering  al- 
ways that  baptism  dotii  represent  unto  us 
that  inward  purity  v*diich  disposeth  us  to 
follow  the  example  of  our  Saviour  Christ; 
that  as  he  died  and  rose  again  for  us,  so 
should  v/e,  who  are  baptized,  die  unto  sin 
and  rise  again  unto  righteousness,  con- 
tinually mortifying  all  corrupt  affections 
and  daily  proceeding  in  all  virtue  and  god- 
liness. 

Do  you  therefore  solemnly  engage  to  ful-

THE   RITUAL. 


fill  these  duties,  so  far  as  in  you  lies,  the 
Lord  beiniT  your  helper  ? 
Answ.  We  do. 

Then  shall  the  people  r.tand  up,  and  tTte  Minister 
shall  say : — 

Hear  the  words  of  the  Gospel,  written  by 
St.  Mark.    [Chap,  x,  13-16.] 

They  brought  young  children  to  Christ, 
that  he  should  touch  them.  And  his  dis- 
ciples rebuked  those  that  brought  them. 
But  when  Jesus  saw  it,  he  was  much  dis- 
]ileased,  and  said  unto  them.  Suffer  the 
little  children  to  couie  unto  me,  and  for- 
bid them  not,  for  of  such  is  the  kingdom 
of  God.  Verily  I  say  nnto  you,  Whoso- 
ever shall  not  receive  the  kingdom  of  God 
as  a  little  child,  he  shall  not  enter  therein. 
And  lie  took  them  up  in  his  arms,  put  his 
liands  upon  them,  and  blessed  them. 

Hien  the  Minister  shall  take  the  Child  into   his 
hands,  and  say  to  the  friends  of  the  Child, 

Name  this  child. 

And  then,  naming  it  after  them.  Tie  sJiaU  sprinlde 
or  pour  Water  upon  it,  or,  if  desired,  immerse  it 
171  Water,  saying, — 

N.,  I  baptize  thee  in  the  name  of  the 
Father,  and  of  the  Son,  and  of  the  Holy 
Ghost.     Amen. 

Then  shall  the  Minister  offer  the  following  prayer, 

the  people  kneding : — 

O  God  of  infinite  mercy,  the  Father  of 
all  the  faithful  seed,  be  pleased  to  grant 
unto  this  child  an  understanding  mind  and 
a  sanctified  heart.  May  thy  providence 
lead  him  through  the  dangers,  tempta- 
tions, and  ignorance  of  his  youth,  that  lie 
may  never  run  into  folly  nor  into  the  evils 
of  an  unbridled  appetite.  We  pray  thee 
so  to  order  the  course  of  his  life,  that  by 
good  education,  by  holy  examples,  and  by 
thy  restraining  and  renewing  grace,  he  may 
be  led  to  serve  thee  faithfully  all  his  days, 
so  that,  when  he  has  glorified  tliee  in  his 
generation,  and  has  served  the  Church  on 
earth,  he  may  i]e  received  into  thine  eternal 
kingdom,  through  Jesus  Christ  our  Lord. 
Amen. 

Almighty  and  most  merciful  Father,  let 
thy  loving  mercy  and  compassion  descend 
upon  these,  thy  servant  and  handmaid,  the 
parents  [or  guardians]  of  this  child.  Grant 
unto  them,  we  beseech  thee,  thy  Holy 
Spirit,  that  they  may,  like  Abraham,  com- 
mand their  household  to  keep  the  way  of 
the  Lord.  Direct  their  actions,  and  sanc- 
tify their  hearts,  words,  and  purposes,  that 


their  whole  family  may  be  united  to  our 
Lord  Jesus  Clirist  in  the  bands  of  faith, 
obedience,  and  charity ;  and  that  they  all, 
being  in  this  life  thy  holy  children  by 
adoption  and  grace,  may  be  admitted  in- 
to the  Church  of  the  first-born  in  heaven, 
through  the  merits  of  thy  dear  Son,  our 
Saviour  and  Redeemer.     Amen. 

Then  may  ths  Minister  offer  extemporary  prayer. 
Then  shall  be  said,  all  kneeling : — 
Our  Father  who  art  in  heaven,  hallowed 
be  thy  name.  Thy  kingdom  come.  Thy 
will  be  done  in  earth,  as  it  is  in  heaven. 
Give  us  this  day  our  daily  bread;  and  for- 
give us  our  trespasses,  as  we  forgive  them 
that  tresjDass  against  us;  and  lead  us  not 
into  temptation,  but  deliver  us  from  evil; 
for  thine  is  the  kingdom,  and  the  power, 
and  the  glory,  forever.     Amen. 

482.   The  Ministkation  op  Baptism  to 
such  as  ake  of  riper  years. 

Dearly  beloved  :  Forasmuch  as  all  men 
are  conceived  and  born  in  sin;  and  that 
which  is  born  of  the  flesh  is  flesh,  and  they 
that  are  in  the  flesh  cannot  please  God, 
but  live  in  sin,  committing  many  actual 
transgressions ;  and  our  Saviour  Christ 
saith.  Except  a  man  be  born  of  water  and 
of  the  Spirit  he  cannot  enter  into  the  king- 
dom of  God : — I  beseech  you  to  call  upon 
God  the  Father,  through  our  Lord  Jesus 
Christ,  that  of  his  bounteous  goodness  he 
will  grant  to  these  2}ersons  tliat  which  by 
nature  they  cannot  have;  that  they,  being 
baptized  with  water,  may  also  be  baptized 
with  the  Holy  Ghost,  and  being  received 
into  (Christ's  holy  Church,  may  continue 
lively  memiiers  of  the  same. 


Then  shall  the  Minister  say,^- 
Let  us  pray. 

Almighty  and  immortal  God,  the  aid  of 
all  that  need,  the  helper  of  all  that  flee 
to  thee  for  succor,  the  life  of  them  that 
believe,  and  the  resurrection  of  the  dead : 
we  call  upon  thee  for  these  persons;  that  they, 
coming  to  thy  holy  baptibin,  may  also  be 
filled  with  thy  Holy  Spirit.  Receive  them, 
O  Lord,  as  thou  hast  promised  by  thy  well- 
beloved  Son,  saying.  Ask,  and  ye  sliall  re- 
ceive; seek,  and  ye  shall  find;  knock,  and 
it  shall  be  opened  unto  you :  so  give  now 
unto  us  that  ask :  let  us  that  seek,  find  : 
open  the  gate  unto  us  tiiat  knock  ;  that 
these  persons  may  enjoy  tiie  everlasting

43  : 


THE   RITUAL. 


'may  come  to  the  eternal  kingdom  which 
thou  hast  promised  by  Christ  our  Lord. 
Amen. 

Then  shall  the  people  siajid  wf>,  and  the  Minister 
shall  say : — 

Hear  the  words  of  the  Gospel,  written  by 
St.  John.  [Chap,  iii,  1-8.] 

There  was  a  man  of  the  Pharisees,  named 
Nicodemus,  a  ruler  of  the  Jews :  tlie  same 
came  to  Jesus  by  night,  and  said  unto  him, 
Rabbi,  we  know  that  thou  art  a  teacher 
come  from  God ;  for  no  man  can  do  these 
miracles  that  thou  doest  except  God  be 
with  him.  Jesus  answered  and  said  unto 
him,  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  thee,  Except 
a  man  be  born  again,  he  cannot  see  the 
kingdom  of  God.  Nicodemus  saith  unto 
liim.  How  can  a  man  be  born  when  he  is 
old?  Can  he  enter  the  second  time  into 
liis  mother's  womb,  and  be  born  ?  Jesus 
answered,  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  thee. 
Except  a  man  be  born  of  water  and  of  the 
Spirit  he  cannot  enter  into  the  kingdom 
of  God.  That  which  is  born  of  the  flesh 
is  flesh,  and  that  which  is  born  of  the 
Spirit  is  spirit.  Marvel  not  that  I  said  un- 
to thee,  Ye  must  be  born  again.  The  wind 
bloweth  where  it  listeth,  and  thou  hearest 
the  sound  thereof,  but  canst  not  tell  whence 
ifc  cometh,  and  whither  it  goeth :  so  is 
every  one  that  is  born  of  the  Spirit. 

Then  the  Minister  shall  speak  to  the  persons  to  he 
^  on  this  wise  : — 


Well  beloved,  who  have  come  hither 
desiring  to  receive  holy  baptism,  you  have 
heard  how  tlie  congregation  hath  prayed 
that  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ  would  vouch- 
safe to  receive  you,  to  bless  you,  and  to 
give  you  the  kingdom  of  heaven,  and  ever- 
lasting life.  And  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ 
hath  promised  in  his  holy  word  to  grant 
all  those  things  that  we  have  prayed  for : 
which  promise  he  for  Ms  part  will  most 
surely  keep  and  perform. 

Wherefore  after  this  promise  made  by 
Christ,  you  miist  also  faithfully,  for  your 
part,  promise  in  the  presence  of  this  whole 
congregation,  that  you  will  renounce  the 
devil  and  all  his  works,  and  constantly 
believe  God's  holy  word,  and  obediently 
keep  his  commandments. 

Then  shall  the  Minister  demand  of  each  of  the 
j)erso7is  to  be  baptized: — 

Quest.  Dost  thou  renounce  the  devil  and 
all  his  works,  the  vain  pomp  and  glory  of 
the  world,  with  all  covetous  desires  of  the 
same,  and  the  carnal  desires  of  the  flesh,  so 
that  thou  wilt  not  follow  nor  be  led  by  them? 


Answ.  I  renounce  them  all. 
Qitest.  Dost  thou  believe  in  God  the 
Father  Almightj"-,  Maker  of  heaven  and 
earth  ?  and  in  Jesus  Christ  his  only-be- 
gotten Son  our  Lord?  and  that  he  was 
conceived  by  the  Holy  Ghost,  born  of  the 
Virgin  Mary  ?  that  he  sufibred  under  Pon- 
tius Pilate,  was  crucified,  dead  and 
buried  ?  that  he  rose  again  the  third  day  ? 
that  he  ascended  into  heaven,  and  sitteth 
at  the  right  hand  of  God  the  Father  Al- 
mighty, and  from  thence  shall  come  again 
at  the  end  of  the  world,  to  judge  the  quick 
and  the  dead  ? 

And  dost  thou  believe  in  the  Holy  Ghost  ? 
the  holy  catholic  Church?*  the  communion 
of  saints  ?  the  remission  of  sins  ?  the  res- 
urrection of  the  body,  and  everlasting  life 
after  death? 

Answ.  All  this  I  steadfastly  believe. 

Quest.  Wilt  thou  be  baptized  in  this 
faith  ? 

A71SW.  This  is  my  desire. 

Quest.  "Wilt  thou  then  obediently  keep 
God's  holy  will  and  commandments,  and 
walk  in  the  same  all  the  days  of  thy  life  ? 

Answ.  I  will  endeavor  so  to  do,  God 
being  my  helper. 

Then  shall  the  Minister  say : — 

O  merciful  God,  grant  that  all  carnal 
affections  may  die  in  these  persons,  and  that 
all  things  belonging  to  the  Spirit  may  live 
and  grow  in  them.     Amen. 

Grant  that  they  may  have  power  and 
strength  to  have  victory,  and  triumph 
against  the  devil,  the  world,  and  the  flesh. 
Amen. 

Grant  that  they^  being  here  dedicated  to 
thee  by  our  ofiice  and  ministry,  may  also 
be  endued  with  heavenly  virtues,  and  ever- 
lastingly rewarded,  through  thy  mercy,  O 
blessed  Lord  God,  who  dost  live,  and 
govern  all  things,  world  without  end. 
Amen. 

Almighty,  ever-living  God,  whose  most 
dearly  beloved  Son  Jesus  Christ,  for  the 
forgiveness  of  our  sins,  did  shed  out  of 
his  most  precious  side  both  water  and 
blood;  and  gave  commandment  to  his  dis- 
ciples, that  they  should  go  teach  all  na- 
tions, and  baptize  them  in  the  name  of  the 
Father,  and  of  the  Son,  and  of  the  Holy 
Ghost;  regard,  we  beseech  thee,  our  sup- 
plications; and  grant  that  the  persons  now 
to  be  baptized  may  receive  the  fullness  of 
thy  grace,  and  ever  remain  in  the  number 
of  thy  faithful  and  elect  children,  through 
Jesus  Christ  our  Lord.     Amen.

the  Head,  and  tliat  it  is  the  design  of  the 
Gospel  to  bring  together  in  one  all  who 
are  in  Christ.  The  fellowship  of  the 
Church  is  the  communion  that  its  members 
enjoy  one  with  another.  The  ends  of  this 
fellowship  are,  the  maintenance  of  sound 
doctrine,  and  of  the  ordinances  of  Chris- 
tian worship,  and  the  exercise  of  that 
power  of  godly  admonition  and  discipline 
which  Christ  has  committed  to  his  Church 
for  the  promotion  of  holiness.  It  is  the 
duty  of  all  men  to  unite  in  this  fellowship, 
for  it  is  only  those  that  "  be  planted  in 
the  house  of  the  Lord,  that  shall  flourish 
in  the  courts  of  our  God."  Its  more  par- 
ticular duties  are,  to  promote  peace  and 
unity ;  to  bear  one  another's  burdens ;  to 
prevent  each  other's  stumbling ;  to  seek 
the  intimacy  of  friendly  society  aniong 
themselves;  to  continue  steadfast  in  the 
faith  and  worship  of  the  Gospel ;  and  to 
.pi*ay  and  sympathize  with  each  other. 
Among  its  privileges  are,  peculiar  incite- 
ments to  holiness  from  the  liearing  of  God's 
word  and  sharing  in  Christ's  ordinances; 
the  being  placed  under  the  watchful  care 
of  pastors,  and  the  enjoyment  of  the  bless- 


ings which  are  promised  only  to  those  who 
are  of  the  household  of  faith.  Into  this 
holy  fellowship  the  persons  before  you, 
who  have  already  received  the  sacrament 
of  baptism,  and  have  been  under  the  care 
of  jjroper  leaders  for  six  months  on  trial, 
come  seeking  admission.  We  now  propose, 
in  the  fear  of  God,  to  question  them  as  to 
their  faith  and  purposes,  that  you  may 
know  that  they  are  proper  persons  to  be 
admitted  into  the  Church. 

Then  addressing  the  applicants  for  admission,  the 
Minister  shall  say  : — 

Dearly  beloved :  You  are  come  hither 
seeking  the  great  privilege  of  union  with 
the  Church  our  Savioiir  has  purchased  with 
his  own  blood.  AVe  rejoice  in  tiie  grace  of 
God  vouchsafed  unto  you  in  that  he  has 
called  you  to  be  his  folloioers,  and  that 
thus  far  you  have  run  well.  You  have 
heard  how  blessed  are  the  privileges,  and 
how  solemn  are  the  duties,  of  membership 
in  Christ's  Church;  and  before  you  are 
fully  admitted  thereto,  it  is  proper  that 
you  do  here  publicly  renew  your  vows, 
confess  your  faitli,  and  declare  your  pur- 
pose, by  answering  the  following  ques- 
tions.— 

Do  you  here,  in  the  presence  of  God  and 
of  this  congregation,  renew  the  solemn 
promise  contained  in  the  baptismal  cov- 
enant, ratifying  and  confirming  the  same, 
and  acknowledging  yourselves  bound  faith- 
fully to  observe  and  keep  that  covenant? 

Answ.   I  do. 

Have  you  saving  faith  in  the  Lord  Jesu« 
Christ?  ■ 

Answ.     I  trust  I  have. 

Do  YOU  believe  in  the  doctrines  cf  Holy 
Scripture,  as  set  fortli  in  the  Articles  of  Re- 
ligion of  the  Methodist  Episcopal  Church? 

Answ.  I  do. 

Will  you  cheerfully  be  governed  by  the 
rules  of  the  Methodist  Episcopal  Church, 
hold  sacred  the  ordinances  of  God,  and  en- 
deavor, as  much  as  in  you  lies,  to  promote 
the  welfare  of  your  brethren  and  the  ad- 
vancement of  the  Redeemer's  kingdom  ? 

Answ.  I  will. 

Will  you  contribute  of  your  earthly  ?uo- 
stance,  according  to  your  ability,  to  the 
support  of  the  Gospel  and  the  various  be- 
nevolent enterprises  of  the  Church  ? 

^71*20.  I  will. 

Them,  the  Minister,  addressing  the  Church,  »4aW 

say  ,•— 

Brethren,  you  have  heard  the  responses 
given  to  our  inquiries.  Have  any  of  you 
reason  to  allege  why  these  persons  should

Church  ? 

No  ohjection  leing  alleged,  the  Minister  sliaU  say  to 
the  Candidates; — 

We  welcome  ^'ou  to  the  communion  of 
the  Church  of  God;  and,  in  testimony  of 
our  Christian  affection  and  tlie  cordiality 
with  which  we  receive  yon,  I  hereby  extend 
U)  you  the  right  hand  of  fellowship;  and 
:  lay  God  grant  that  you  may  be  a  faithful 
t-  ad  useful  merriber  of  the  Church  militant 
till  you  are  called  to  the  fellowship  of  the 
("Ihnrch  triumpliant,  which  is  "without 
f  iult  l.iefore  the  throne  of  God." 

Than  shall  the  Minister  offer  exterwpwary  Prayer.

OF  THE  Lord's  Supper. 

The  Elder  sJiaU  say  one  or  more  of  these  sentences, 
during  the  reading  of  which  the  persons  ap- 
pointed for  that  purpose  shall  receive  the  alms  for 
the  poor : — 

Let  your  light  so  shine  before  men,  that 
they  may  see  your  good  works,  and  glorify 
your  Father  which  is  in  heaven.  [Matt. 
V,  16.] 

Lay  not  up  for  yourselves  treasures  upon 
eartli,  where  moth  and  rust  doth  corrupt, 
rtud  where  thieves  break  through  and 
steal:  but  lay  up  for  yourselves  treasures 
in  heaven,  where  neither  moth  nor  rust  doth 
corrupt,  and  where  tliieves  do  not  break 
through  nor  steal.  [Matt,  vi,  19,  20.] 

Wliatsoever  ye  would  that  men  should 
do  to  you,  do  ye  even  so  to  them:  for  this 
is  the  law  and  the  prophets.  [Matt, 
vii,  12.] 

Not  every  one  that  saith  unto  me,  Lord, 
Lord,  shall  enter  into  the  kingdom  of 
heaven;  but  he  that  doeth  the  will  of  my 
ITather  which  is  in  heaven.   [Matt. vii,  21.] 

Zaccheus  stood,  and  said  unto  the  Lord, 
Behold,  Lord,  the  half  of  my  goods  I  give 
to  the  poor;  and  if  I  have  taken  any  thing 
from  any  man  by  false  accusation,  I  restore 
him  fourfold.   [Luke  xix,  8.] 

He  which  soweth  sparingly  sliall  reap 
also  sparingly ;  and  he  which  soweth  boun- 
tifully shall  reap  also  bountifully.     Every 


490 


man  according  as  he  purposeth  in  his 
heart,  so  let  him  give;  not  grudgingly,  or 
of  necessity,  for  God  loveth  a  cheerful 
giver.   [2  Cor.  ix,  6,  7.] 

As  we  have  therefore  opportunity,  let 
us  do  good  unto  all  men,  especially  unto 
them  who  are  of  the  household  of  faith. 
[Gal.  vi,  10.] 

Godliness  with  contentment  is  great  gain  ; 
for  we  brought  nothing  into  this  world, 
and  it  is  certain  we  can  carry  nothing  out. 
[1  Tim.  vi,  6,  7.] 

Charge  them  that  are  rich  in  this  world, 
that  they  be  not  high-minded,  nor  trust 
in  uncertain  riches,  but  in  the  living  God, 
who  giveth  us  richly  all  things  to  enjoy; 
that  they  do  good,  that  they  be  rich  in 
good  works,  ready  to  distribute,  willing 
to  communicate;  laying  up  in  store  for 
themselves  a  good  foundation  against  the 
time  to  come,  that  thev  may  lay  hold  on 
eternal  life.   [1  Tim.  vi,"l7-19.] 

God  is  not  unrighteous  to  forget  your 
work  and  labor  of  love,  which  ye  iiave 
showed  toward  his  name,  in  that  ye  have 
ministered  to  the  saints,  and  do  minister. 
[Heb.  vi,  10.] 

To  do  good,  and  to  communicate,  for- 
get not;  for  with  such  sacritices  God  is 
well   pleased.   [Heb.  xiii,  16.] 

Whoso  hath  this  world's  good,  and  seeth 
his  brother  have  need,  and  shutteth  up  his 
bowels  of  compassion  from  him,  how 
dwelleth  the  love  of  God  in  him?  [1  John 
iii,  17.] 

He  that  hath  pity  upon  the  poor,  lendeth 
unto  the  Lord;  and  that  which  he  hatli 
given  will  he  pay  him  again.  [Prov. 
xix,  17.] 

Blessed  is  he  that  cousidereth  thte  poor; 
the  Lord  will  deliver  him  iu  time  of 
trouble.  [Psa.  xli,  1.] 

After  which  the  Elder  shall  give  the  followiyig  In- 
vitation, the  people  standing  : — 

If  any  man  sin,  we  have  an  advocate 
with  the  Father,  Jesus  Christ  the  right- 
eous: and  he  is  the  propitiation  for  our 
sins:  and  not  for  ours  only,  but  also  for  the 
sins  (if  ttie  whole  world. 

Wherefore  ye  that  do  truly  and  earnestly 
repent  of  your  sins,  and  are  in  love  and 
cliarity  with  your  neighbors,  and  intend  to 
lead  a  new  life,  following  the  command- 
ments of  God,  and  walking  from  henceforth 
in  his  holy  ways;  draw  near  witii  faith, 
and  take  this  holy  sacrament  to  your  cora- 
ibrt:  and,  devoutly  kneeling,  make  your 
humble  confession  to  Almighty  God.

Almiglity  God,  T  i:  her  of  our  Lord  Jesus 
Christ,  Milker  of  all  things,  Judge  of  all 
men:  Ave  acknowledge  and  bewail  our 
manifold  sins  and  wickedness,  which  we 
(Vom  time  to  time  most  grievously  have 
committed,  by  thought,  word,  and  deed, 
against  tliy  Divine  Majesty,  provoking 
most  justly  thy  wrath  and  indignation 
ftgainst  us.  We  do  earnestly  repent,  and 
are  heartily  sorry  for  these  our  misdoings; 
the  rememljrance  of  them  is  grievous  unto 
ns.  Have  mercy  upon  us,  have  mercy  upon 
us,  most  merciful  Father;  for  thy  Sou, 
our  Lord  Jesus  Christ's  sake,  forgive  us 
all  that  is  past,  and  grant  that  we  may 
ever  hereafter  serve  and  please  thee  in 
newness  of  life,  to  tlie  honor  and  glory  of 
thy  name,  through  Jesus  Christ  our  Lord. 
Amen. 

Then  shall  the  Elder  say^ — 

Almighty  God,  our  heavenly  Father, 
who  of  tliy  great  mercy  hast  promised  for- 
giveness of  sins  to  all  them  that  with  hearty 
repentance  and  true  faith  turn  unto  thee: 
have  mercy  upon  us;  pardon  and  deliver 
us  from  all  our  sins,  confirm  and  strengthen 
us  in  all  goodness,  and  bring  us  to  ever- 
lasting life  through  Jesus  Christ  our  Lord. 
Amen. 

The  Collect. 

Almighty  God,  unto  whom  all  hearts  are 
open,  all  desii'cs  known,  and  from  whom 
no  secrets  are  hid;  cleanse  the  thoughts  of 
our  hearts  by  the  inspiration  of  thy  Holy 
Spirit,  that  we  mayperfectly  love  thee,  and 
worthily  magnify  tliy  holy  name  through 
Jesus  Christ  our  Lord.     Amen. 

Then  shall  the  Elder  say, — 

We  do  not  presume  to  come  to  this  thy 
table,  O  merciful  Lord,  trusting  in  our 
own  righteousness,  but  in  thy  manifold 
and  great  mercies.  We  are  not  worthy  so 
much  as  to  gather  up  the  crumbs  under 
thy  table.  But  thou  art  the  same  Lord, 
whose  property  is  always  to  have  mercy: 
Grant  us,  therefore,  gracious  Lord,  so  to 
eat  the  flesh  of  thy  dear  Son  Jesus  Christ, 
and  to  drink  his  blood,  that  we  may  live 
and  grow  tliercby ;  and  that,  being  waslied 
through  his  most  precious  blood,  we  may 
evermore  dwell  m  him,  and  he  in  us. 
Amen.

Then  the  Elder  shall  say  the  prayer  0/ Consecra-

Almighty  God,  our  heavenly  Father, 
who  of  thy  tender  mercy  didst  give  thine 
only  Son  Jesus  Christ  to  suffer  death  upon 
the  cross  for  our  redemption;  who  made 
there,  by  his  oblation  of  himself  once 
offered,  a  full,  perfect,  and  sufRcient  sac- 
rifice, oblation,  and  satisfaction  for  the  sins 
of  the  whole  world ;  and  did  institute,  and 
in  his  holy  Gospel  command  us  to  con- 
tinue, a  perpetual  memory  of  his  precious 
death  until  his  coming  again:  hear  us,  O 
merciful  Father,  we  most  humbly  beseech 
thee,  and  grant  that  we,  receiving  these  thy 
creatures  of  bread  and  wine,  according  to 
thy  Son  our  Saviour  Jesus  Christ's  holy 
institution,  in  remembrance  of  his  death 
and  passion,  may  be  partakers  of  his  most 
blessed  body  and  blood  ;  who,  in  the  same

tament, Avhich  is  shed  for  you,  and  for 
many,  for  the  remission  of  sins ;  do  this,  as 
oft  as  ye  shall  drink  it,  in  remembrance  of 
me.     Amen. 

Then  shall  the  Minister  receive  the  communion  in 
both  kinds,  and  proceed  to  deliver  the  same  to 
the  other  Ministers,  {if  any  be  present;)  after 
tvhich  he  shall  say : — 

It  is  very  meet,  right,  and  our  bounden

crate more  by  repeating  the  Prayer  of  Consecra- 
tion.] 

[When  all  have  communed,  the  Minister  shall

Give  US  this  day  our  daily  bread;  and  for- 
give Its  our  trespasses,  as  we  forgive  them 
that  trespass  against  us;  and  lead  us  not 
into  temptati(m,  but  deliver  us  from  evil; 
for  thine  is  the  kingdom,  and  the  power, 
and  the  glory,  forever.     Amen. 

After  wJdch  shall  be  said  as  foUotceth : — 

O  Lord,  our  heavenly  Father,  we  thy 
humble  ser^  ants  desire  thy  Fatherly  good- 
ness mercifully  to  accept  this  our  sacrifice 
of  praise  and  thanksgiving;  most  humbly 
beseeching  thee  to  grant,  tliat,  by  the 
merits  and  death  of  thy  Son  Jesus  Christ, 
and  through  faith  in  his  blood,  we  and  thy 
%vhole  Church  may  obtain  remission  of  our 
sins,  and  all  other  benefits  of  his  passicm. 
And  here  we  offer  and  present  unto  thee, 
O  Lord,  onrselves,  our  souls  and  bodies, 
to  be  a  reasonable,  holy,  and  lively  sac- 
rifice unto  thee ;  humbly  beseeching  thee 


that  all  we  who  are  partakers  of  this  holy 
communion  may  be  filled  with  thy  grace 
and  heavenly  benediction.  And  although 
we  be  unworthy,  through  our  manifold 
sins,  to  offer  unto  thee  any  sacrifice,  yet 
we  beseech  thee  to  accept  this  our  bounden 
duty  and  service;  not  weighing  our  merits, 
but  pardoning  our  offenses,  through  Jesus 
Christ  our  Lord ;  by  whom,  and  with 
whom,  in  the  unity  of  the  Holy  Ghost,  all 
honor  and  glory  be  unto  thee,  O  Father 
Almighty,  world  without  end.     Amen. 

Then  shatl  he  taid  or  sung  : — 

Glory  be  to  God  on  high,  and  on  earth 
peace,  good-wdll  toward  men.  We  praise 
tliee,  we  bless  thee,  we  worship  thee,  we 
glorify  tliee,  we  give  thanks  unto  thee  for 
thy  great  glory,  O  Lord  God,  heavenly 
King,  God  the  Father  Almighty. 

O  Lord,  the  only  begotten  Son  Jesus 
Christ;  O  Lord  God,  Lamb  of  God,  Son 
of  the  Father,  that  takest  away  the  sins 
of  the  world,  have  mercy  upon  us.  Thou 
that  takest  away  the  sins  of  the  world, 
have  mercy  upon  us.  Tliou  that  takest 
away  the  sins  of  the  world,  receive  our 
prayer.  Thou  that  sittest  at  tlie  right 
liand  of  God  the  Father,  have  mercy  upon 
us.  For  thou  only  art  holy ;  thou  only  art 
the  Lord ;  thou  only,  O  Christ,  with  the 
Holy  Ghost,  art  most  high  in  the  glory  of 
God  the  Father.     Amen. 

Then  the  Elder.,  if  he  see  it  expedient,  may  put  up 
an  extemporary  prayer ;  and  afterward  shall  let 
the  people  depart  vnth  this  blessing : — 

May  the  pence  of  God,  which  passeth  all 
understanding,  keep  your  hearts  and  minds 
in  the  knowledge  and  love  of  God,  and 
of  his  Son  Jesus  Christ  our  Lord ;  and  the 
blessing  of  God  Almighty,  the  Father,  the 
Son,  and  the  Holy  Gliost,  be  among  you, 
and  remain  with  you  always.     Avien. 

N.  B.  If  the  Elder  be  straitened  for  time,  he 
may  omit  any  part  of  the  .service,  except  the  In- 
vitation, the  Confession,  and  the  Prayer  of  Con- 
secration.
